0005215: Implement sort by DATEAdded (not DateTimeAdded)

I would suggest that we just change this so that it sorts by Date Added (and not by time). If users require a sort by Date Added and by Time Added, we can add support for a secondary sort by Time Added, though I can't see the need for this.

I believe that the current DateAdded is mainly used to create a latest added tracks auto-playlist. Changing it could annoy many users. Perhaps it would be best to rename the current DateAdded to DateTimeAdded (that wouldn't break any existing auto-playlists, would it?) and then implement a "real" DateAdded?

Sure. 'Date/Time Added' (for current field) + 'Date Added' (New field) could work, but it might get a little complicated since we should probably do the same for other date related fields, e.g.
'Date/Time Modified' + 'Date Modified'
'Date/Time Last Played' + 'Date Last Played'

Maybe a small trick would solve all this without the need for any new fields:
1. In case Date Added is the only (or last) field in the list of sorting fields, it would be fully used - i.e. including time.
2. In case Date Added is followed by some other fields (like Track #), only Date part would be used.

Yes, I like Jiri's trick. It looks like it would always solve all wishes.

Yes, I like it too. Assigning to me for implementation.

Fixed in build 1301.

Note: Implemented the same way also for 'Last Played'
