Sort by Year no longer working

[jje4th 1]

I got a new PC and needed to re-install Media Browser.  Ever since then Sort by Year does not work for my media collection in Media Browser Classic.  It is not an issue with the metadata as I can sort by Year in the Media Browser Web Client just fine.  Indexing by year in Media Browser Classic also works fine. Why I try to sort by year in Media Browser Classic, the sort doesn't change (e.g. If I choose Sort by Name, then Sort By Year items are sorted by name.  If I choose sort by Runtime then Sort by Year items are sorted by run time). I installed the latest beta (3.0.129) today to verify the problem still exists, but it been present for about 2 weeks.  

 

Is this a bug?

I have the same issue.  After update to the latest MB3 and MBC, I can no longer sort by Year.

 

Sort by Name, Date, Rating, Run Time, Unwatched, all works fine. Only sort by Year is not working.

 

I am getting the following on the error log:

A bit more info.

 

The error is happening on both my MBC clients...however, when I sort by year or release date on the web browser, it is fine.  Error only occur on MBC

Figured out what the problem is.

 

There is a box set in the library that did not have a release year at the box set level.

This was fixed a bit ago for the next release.
