1.9.5: No proper date sorting method exists for videos

Post by fireattack »

Videos shot by cameras and phones have proper date metadata in it.
and in explorer (Windows for example), they will be sorted nicely with "by date" option.

However, in XnView MP, where is no such option to achieve similar sorting.

If sort by modified date or created date, it would use file system mtime/ctime, which are often not the same as the metadata date.
For photos, you can use EXIF date taken, but it does not work for videos.
