Is there a way to reverse the sort order of the new Year sorting feature? or to disable it?

I have my collection with the year in the album folder name so this was working for me already...

and now it seems backwards.. especially if you use the Prev and Next album arrows... Next goes to prev and prev goes to next...

also if 2 albums have the same year, then it orders them from top to bottom by alphabet...

ex.

[1982] - Coda 1982
[1979] - In Through the Out Door 1979
[1976] - Presence 1976
[1976] - The Song Remains the Same 1976
[1975] - Physical Graffiti 1975
[1973] - Houses of the Holy 1973
[1971] - Led Zeppelin IV 1971
[1970] - Led Zeppelin III 1970
--> [1969] - Led Zeppelin I 1969
--> [1969] - Led Zeppelin II 1969

thats wrong if we are going from bottom to top.

If its going to order them from bottom to top then it needs to order the title from bottom to top as well when the year is the same...

this is going to happen anytime albums have the same name but with 1,2 or I, II after them.

makes way more sense in the music album universe to list albums from oldest to newest.

please add the ability to reverse the sort order if its not already possible.. or an option to disable it altogether..

thank you

Add a few double cds into the mix and things get really interesting
My 75 album Tangerine Dream collection ended up looking like a sudoku puzzle

I was going to make the same request. I updated to 4.7beta2 and ended up rolling back to 4.7beta because of this. Everything is backwards or just completely jumbled up (not even backwards, just all over the place).

Example:
I usually would see this as having the 7th first, then the 8th, but I see this in beta2 (each of these is a double disc live CD)
- 2012-06-08_DCU Center_Worcester,MA
- 2012-06-07_DCU Center_Worcester,MA

Then when you click in, it's also backwards (I usually see set "I", then set "II", but now set II is 1st).
- 2012-06-08_II_DCU Center_Worcester,MA
- 2012-06-08_I_DCU Center_Worcester,MA

I usually order my albums like this, and they are all over the place with beta2. This is beta, not beta2, because I rolled-back, but this is what I WANT to see:
(2001) Salesmen and Racists
(2004) Sparkle in the Finsih
(2005) Junkie Faithful
(2005) Sparkle in the Finish - The B-Sides
(2006) The Last Demonstration EP
(2007) We Belong to the Staggering Evening
(2008) Poison The Hit Parade
(2009) Hard Luck Stories
(2011) Live, Rare, & Acoustic
