[Solved] Can I sort this by date?

[Skyknight416]

I've got a Calc spreadsheet that I've used as a backup to a DVD database program I use to track all my movies. There was a point in time where I stopped using the DB program because a language pack I had installed wound up causing problems with it and it would take something like five minutes of waiting and cycling through error messages before it would work for each DVD I'd enter.

Recently I've upgraded to Windows 10 and the DB application is now working again. I'd like to get it back up to speed but I don't want to have to go through every single movie to see if it's already there or not. So here's the question: Is there some way to arrange the titles in Calc so they show up by date when the date was never a value I entered in the first place? I would think or I would hope that somewhere in the metadata there's a value that says what date it was actually inputted.

I know this is a longshot but right now it's the easiest way I can figure out how to add what I'm missing without having to check every single title.

Thank you.

Never mind about this, I figured out a workaround.

Thanks anyway.

Alphabetical listing should be simpler and faster.

Forums aren't one-way, and a thread should not exclusively be useful for the one user who created it.

Thus:

If you find a solution or a (reusable) workaround for a problem you had: Please post it!

By the way: Creation date is often a relevant information concerning a new data record. We should consider to dedicate a field to it.
Spreadsheets don't worry about data history. They just keep or renew an equilibrium defined by their formulas..
