yes it's the only way i find to do this, too
but if i want, for example, to play all album of year 2007, by artist, by album, it's not possible
ok, thx you

Chronon:
It seems like you could get the behavior that you want if we had some way of sorting the playlist alphabetically -- at least if your filenames have track numbers at the beginning.  So you could select all tracks from 2007 from the database.  Then sort the paths in the resulting playlist alphabetically to group them by artist/album.  It seems like such a sort feature would be nice to have as part of the playlist functionality anyway.

If there's some agreement that this would be a good way to do this then perhaps a feature request would be in order.

bascule:
You should be able to achieve something like you want be writing your own format string and adding it to the tagnavi.config file.

Something like (I can't test this at work :( ):
%format "fmt_sort" "%4d-%s-%s-%s" year artist album title

...and then to view the list:
"Track"    -> title = "fmt_sort"

This should display a list of all tracks, but with the formatting it should be alphabetically sorted year, then artist, then album, then track.

If I write :
"Artist"   -> artist   -> album  -> title = "fmt_sort"
And then I browse the database, if I select an artist, then an album, the tracks are shown as I want because of the format
But if I select "All tracks" on the Artist screen, it don't apply the track format and show the tracks sorted by title !?
Why ? is there a way ?

bascule:
All Tracks always sorts strictly alphabetically, because it's not constrained by the format tag.

I don't believe there is an easy fix, other than patching the source code.
