Sort by reverse chronological order in Album List?

Fairly new to Foobar, I've been working on some filtering stuff for Album List, I want to list Artist>Album (by year, most recent at top)> Track, etc. Does anyone know a command for %date% to list in reverse? Here's the string I have now: $swapprefix(%artist%)|%date% %album%|%tracknumber%. %title%

Not possible.

Try using $sub(9999,%date%) instead of %date%

Temporarily switching sort order like you can when clicking column headers in the playlist isn't possible.

You can permanently change it by changing the pattern. I'd use
Code: [Select]
$sub(9999,$left(%date%,4))

And since we are revisiting the exact same question as a couple of weeks ago, you might as well have another solution.
Use foo_facets as your media browser with one of the facets set to year and click on the column to reverse.
