Solved Song sorting by dates (TDOR, TDRC, TDRL) not just YEAR

I always overwrite that with the first release date and use another field in foobar2000 (my main player) to show the re-release date (actually DISCOGS_RELEASE). That leads to the somewhat unfortunate situation that the MUSICBRAINZ field for first release date is unused by me.

This is probably going to be one of those dividing decisions but the most important date for me is the original release date. Everything else about a re-release I can see from other metadata, like "DeLuxe", "Remastered" or "With Strawberry Flavour" etc. MUSICBRAINZ is also not always correct/complete in this regard. If an artist only has a later release of an album in his release group then the date of that re-release is passed to the tagger as the original release. DISCOGS is much more complete but I guess that ship has sailed... Music
In case @black_eagle is looking for input from the peanut gallery, I'm in full agreement - not only is the original release date the only one that really matters to me, but I've gone to some trouble ensuring that's the date that ends up in the tag Kodi has historically stored and used.  I would urge that the Vorbis YEAR and equivalent always be at least an option to use as the canonical "what to display and sort by" data.

But while I do use Musicbrainz data by way of a mp3tag script, I don't currently use Picard, so maybe I'm another edge case.
