the releaseyear isn't the problem, there's a tag in the files named releaseyear. THe problem is that 'date' is a term like 'nice weather' which tells simply nothing.
Since it depends what ones wants to read from it. 'date' could be anything. recording date, release date, re-press date ...... whatsoever. THat's why I want to declare a more sensefull visible name, and of course without having to modify the files themselves. Something MinimServer is quite good in, to read things as the scan stage and turn it into something differnt in the end.
But I got stuck somehow.
I tried telling minim in tagValue that recordingsyear.replace={date}
but that didn't work since recordingyear was unknown.
I then tried to define that as an alias
aliasTags recordingyear:date
didn't work either
hmm.

Quote:You can reverse the sort order of a tag by using the + and - prefixes in indexTags and sortTags. See this section and this section.

doesn't make any difference if there's 'date' or '-date' in indexTags
No moans about a wrong configuration but also no effect at all not after rescan or after a restart of MinimServer.
And sorttags is a real pain to understand what minimserver wants me to declare.
date.sorttags={-date} didn't work, but what else? It's the date I want to revert not something else.
