Add "Release Date" to Smart Filters

[coreyemtp]

Idea Description

Currently, there is only a "Release Year" way to sort in smart lists, and that does not sort within the years. I'm sure it has a use case, but I don't see it. What would be incredibly helpful would be to add a sort by "Release Date" as well.

Can you help me understand how this would be used?

It would show the newest series first, so that one would be able to see the latest comics released, not just the series that were updated. For example, at this point I may care less that the latest issue of Web of Spider-Man came out, but I would like to know that Absolute Superman -started- earlier this year, followed by Tedward, etc.

To me, it would be as useful as my much-loved "Random" sort, in that it's a method to see my collection in a different way based on my mood at the time. I'm not sure how else to explain it, so hopefully that suffices.
