First of all, there's not such thing as creation date.

Hm you say there's no creation date but later on you mention "ctime" yourself? What's the difference (besides a different word)?

To me it appears (a least sometimes) to be using the change timestamp.

Please take a look at the code instead of guessing by trying (conclusions based on (empirical) observation almost never cover the whole truth). If for all your files the change timestamp is either equal to or newer than the creation timestamp it obviously will always pick the change timestamp. But that doesn't mean that it will ALWAYS use the change timestamp.

For me, "date added" in library view means "date added to my library". Problem is, that's not what it does. If you add a movie that happens to have an old timestamp, it may not end up on top, even if it was added right now. It may end up somewhere in the middle.

So our definitions of "date added" differ and obviously I implemented the feature to match my (personal) definition of "date added" and not yours. It's that easy.

Agree on the refresh thing tho. But the same thing can be said about this method: if you happen to rename a file, ctime changes, you have to do an update, and it appear at the top of the recently added list.

Renaming a file doesn't change either of the timestamps of the renamed file for me. So your point is invalid.

Like jmarshall said, the current implementation of the video library/database makes it very, very difficult to implement what you are after. The way I implemented it required rather few code changes and suits my needs (and those of others but obviously not all) perfectly fine so I'm not willing to invest a lot of time and effort into coding something I don't want/like.
