Display (and sort maybe) by $original_year

[daks]

Hello

I recently discovered Supersonic and I really like it. I'm currently using it with beets beetstream plugin which provides a subsonic-compatible minimal API to access my beets library.
I plan to later move on a 'real' subsonic app but I'm still evaluating the setup I want.

I see that my albums displays the $year date but I would like to have the option to use $original_year or maybe both.
Ex: I have a Japan release of Tortoise Millions Now Living Will Never Die https://musicbrainz.org/release/b534f116-b4c2-458b-a0b7-e2cccd4fd0ab. This release is from 2001 but the original is from 1996.
And Supersonic displays it at the year 2001 and I would like to see the original date.
I can see that tracks have both tags (ID3 or equivalent).

Is there anyway to change the display (and sorting even) to use $original_year instead of $year?
Or maybe $original_year and $year as a fallback.

I hope that my question is not directly linked to not using a full subsonic server implementation.

This is directly related to your server implementation. The server parses out the tags and reports the metadata to Supersonic via the API. A full implementation like Navidrome does handle original vs release years properly.
