Sorting songs artist/album/year on iTunes 12

Hi there.


I've been looking all over the net for a solution and I can't find any for iTunes 12.


So my problem is in Songs view, I can only sort songs by "Album by Artist" at best. My problem is this sorts the albums on alphabetical order, which is not so nice.

On every other category, there's a way to sort 'm by Album by Artist by Year.

In the sorting options view (ctrl+j), there's missing an extra option 'then YEAR', as in the album view.


I hope this is clear. The problem isn't complicated, and I hope there's an existing solution, because this is pretty basic.


Thanks in advance ! 🙂

In the songs view click on the heading of the Album column. It cycles between Album, Album by Artist and Album by Artist/year.
