Rather new to ITunes store I miss simple sorting functions. E.g. how can I sort a simple query by release date?

Every online store I have been to so far had plenty of search and refinement options ... as iTunes Store seems to be far less self-explanatory I am sure similar questions have been asked so please point me to the right threads should they exist.

I managed to sort audiobooks by author/reader using the column-browser. However, I find the lists rather lacking and not every author available seems to be listed (maybe databases are incomplete?).

How can I rather sort by title or release date when in the column-browser audiobook sub-directory?

In the Store View:

If you already know a title everything is fine ...

If you want to browse you get a jumble of releases from the past X years in no specific order. (e-g- I looked for Doctor Who in audio books, the first release shown was from 2006 ... houndreds follow with newer ones randomly mingled inbetween)

How do I use additional filters on a direct query in the store not using the column-browser:

- Releases of the past week?

- Sort by release date?

- Sort by title?

- Exclude certain search results?

I find it tantamount to look through houndreds of random results to find a single item.

Thanks in advance for any answers ^^
