I thought that was strictly an MC tag for MC use. My Kodi library sort by Date Added is not even vaguely similar to the way they are organized in Media Companion (MC is the correct order), but I just realized I've got <dateadded> set to 2, which sorts by actual create/modified date, and apparently there is some bug in Helix with file modified/create times. My library sorted properly in Gotham, but in Helix they're all over the place. Others have this issue as well http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=210579&page=2
If Kodi will use MC's <createdate> tag when I import my whole library, I am fine with that.
edit: Just saw vbat99's response. So there is no way to match Kodi's Date Added sort to MC's?
Sorry if that confused you, I also thought XBMC used the <createdate> tag a few version's ago, but then they went and changed it. Now with Three options for Date Added, and the default being the most annoying.

When using the sorting with Media Companion it seems like it the read the .nfo Created and Modified date and not the video file Created and Modified date like Kodi does
Could you please change so the sorting "Date Added" in MC sort like Kodi does when choosing "Sort by: Date added" in the Library
And if you choose to sort by "Modified" in MC it reads the modified date of the video file
Thanks vbat99 for your great support

Date Added not working correctly
Option to use folder date for recently added movies
Can someone explain how the "latest Movies/TV" works now?
As from first quoted message in this reply, <createdate> is the date created and added to Media Companion. We use this so user's can sort by latest added in Movie list. There is no point in listing when the movie file was created, as this is determined by so many different affects.
1. Ripped date.
2. Encoded Date.
3. Downloaded Date.
4. PC's date when saved from one media type to another, ie: NTFS to FAT, can change the Movie File's create date to date when copied.
In Media Companion, You can sort by
A-Z (Z-A)
Year
Date Added
& Modified - last time nfo was updated.
As well as the many filters. I think that's enough ways to sort your library.!
