Hi

I'm trying to call VideoLibrary.GetMovies (Kodi 17.6), and sort the returned movies by premiere date, but I'm unable to find a sort method for this.

I've tried both "date" and "year", but they both sort by label instead?!
For example, if I POST the following to the /jsonrpc endpoint:

json:
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetMovies", "params": { "properties": ["year", "premiered", "title"], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "year" } }, "id": "movies" }

it gives me the following (abbreviated) output:

json:
 ..., "movies":[{"year":1968},{"year":2009},{"year":1999},{"year":2013}, ... 

For comparison, sort-method "dateadded" seems to be doing the right thing.

Am I doing something wrong, or do the "date" and "year" not work for movies, and if such is there no way to actually sort movies by date?
