Sort by album release date
What is the problem you are facing?
I'd like to sort the albums by release date.
As a user and music lover one of the things I like to know on a regular basis is what the latest albums have been released. Unfortunately when you browse through the albums on Funkwhale you can't sort them by the release date of the album. Only by their name and the date they were created. For me, sorting by release date is a quick way to take a look at recent albums and keep up to date with the latest music news and a fun way to discover new music.
This request is secondary : One could imagine other functions arising from this request. For example, display on a user's home page the new albums released, according to his favorite artists (those in his favorites or his music library).
What are the possible drawbacks or issues with the requested changes?
Of course the problem would be that if the album has no metatag or not the right ones, it won't work.
Context
For example, on spotify there is a function called "Release Radar" and you can find all the album releases but only the artists you are following. It's one of the functions I use the most on spotify by the way.
