Inconsistent Naming: Sort by Year/Date
#1
There seems to be an inconsistency in the naming when sorting things by Date:

- In the library you sort by Date
- In a Smart Playlist you sort by Year (which seems to be using the full date anyway)

I was getting identical results with both options when sorting Episodes.
Is there a reason why they are called different things in different sections or are they in fact two different things?

The sort by year comes from movies where xbmc only stores the the year of release of the movie. sorting/filtering by premiered/first aired for tvshows/episodes was added later to smartplaylists and to keep the code minimal the year stuff from movies was re-used.
