take music (release) date taken from `originaldate` not from `date`

[joshinils 13]

seeing how musicbrainz picard has taggend my music, the `date` field is filled with 2009-10-28, the `originaldate` field contains 1973-10-19.

I can say for myself that I do not care when the certain physical release was made, but for sorting and display the `originaldate` is much more useful.

For re-releases later on, the `originaldate` is the same for the same album, the `date` is not.

Hi.  But aren't re-mixes and re-releases actually different things from the original and you would want to be able to see them that way?

It should definitely be option to use one or the other

Sure sometimes but in that case the OringinalDate would equal = the Date (Release).

If it isn't important, the original date is the one you want.

Sometimes yes, sometimes it is just a plain re-release (with a different copyright year on the back etc.). Maybe it is a re-master or contains an additional song, but most of the time it doesn't matter to me, I want the original release date.
