*UPDATE* Figured out how to change the authorship info so it looks a though the old episodes were uploaded on the sermon date as opposed to today. It took awhile to edit each one, but I got it done. *END UPDATE*
I recently was given the task of uploading all the archived mp3s from the first half of 2008 and a few from 2007 to our new website. I started building the site in mid July and from then on have been adding the sermon audio each week as we recorded it, so I only needed to upload everything from before I started work on the site. By default the audio module page sorts the nodes by their creation date. This worked fine up until now because I've been uploading them each week as they've been recorded. Once I started uploading the old audio however it would throw everything off as it would put all the old stuff before the newer stuff simply because it was created more recently. To fix this I went in and added a new date field (from the date module) to my audio content type and then edited the view so it sorted by this date field rather than the creation date. Now when we upload a podcast we choose the sermon date in the date field and it sorts it by that date. This method works perfectly on the regular audio page (www.tenmilevineyard.org/audio). The problem now is that it isn't working when using the "browse by..." pages (www.tenmilevineyard.org/audio/by) that the audio module sets up. We use these so people can browse audio by speaker, series, or year. For some reason it seems as though these pages are still sorting the nodes by their creation date, which means newly imported audio from back in June are being displayed at the end of the "2008" page, even though they should be at the stop since it's listing in ascending order.
I've double checked the audio view and it's definitely still set to sort by the date field and not the node creation date. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? If I have to I know I can create a brand new view, but I'd rather not do that since the audio module has these "browse by..." pages built in and it would be much more convenient to use these.
