Hi Andrei,

the problem is solved! It looks like there was something wrong with my preset and not with OCD or the sorting mechanism in general.

Since I seemed to be the only one experiencing these strange results I checked the several sorting results by directly choosing single columns. Each one of them resulted in what I was expecting, including date sorting. But as I switched back to my preset (sorting Artist, Release Date and Title) it was wrong again. Then I just deleted the preset and build it anew and now it works fine.

I have no idea what the problem was or what it originated from, but I'm glad it works again. Thank you for your assistance!
