On the “Songs” page, there are several ways to sort the songs display, using the “Sort by” drop-down menu in the upper-right corner.
Date Imported: Reflects the date and time when the song was imported into the SongwritersdB program. (When a song you recorded on the phone app (SongwritersdB Aux) is synced to your desktop, that is not considered “imported”, since it originated within the SongwritersdB system.)
Date Recorded: Reflects the date and time a song was recorded within the SongwritersdB system (desktop or phone).
NOTE: The program has no way of determining the actual recording date of a song recorded outside of the program. For example, every time a file is copied and saved within Windows, it is given a new date and time. If you want to retain the ability to search by the original recording dates–if you know when that was–you can still do that by entering a year in the comments section. Then, a search for the keyword “2021” (for example), will immediately display all songs originally recorded in that year.
Last Edited On: Reflects the date last edited. An edit is any change in song file data (rating, genre, comments, lyrics, other tags, etc.) or when audio is appended or merged. Edits also include adding a new version of a song.
Song Name: Songs displayed alphabetically according to their song titles.
Star Rating: Sort by star rating, with 5-star songs at the top (5-Star – 1-Star) or 1-star songs at the top (1-Star – 5-Star). This is handy if you are looking to find your best song or song ideas or maybe looking to eliminate low-ranked song ideas.
