1) Add a new tag titledate to itemTags

2) In tagValue, specify titledate.default={originaldate, date}

3) Use titledate in the tag format string for Title.displayFormat

Thanks a lot, sounds good ... but I think it's not what I need.

This only changes the value of the new variable titledate, right?
But here is only used for the display of the title, but not for the sorting using the default "date" in Minimserver, correct?
I think it's ok just to use originaldate for the title, if it's not filled, it's simply empty and will not be shown. The date is then at the end of the album title, that's enough.

I think it's useful to define the new variable, but how can I use this for sorting into years like the default does?
