Can you just see if it is possible to sort by "first year of production car"

We are in the process of thoroughly tackling the sorting options. A.o. can sort or multiple fields, adjustable per category. So be patient.

Is there already insight into the expansion of the sorting options?
It strikes me that determining the production year of the model car is more difficult to indicate than the production year of the 1: 1 car.

You're right. With some manufacturers it is difficult to find out in which year a car was issued. It is also often difficult for the person who places the item, it is not on the bottom of the car or on the box and in which year did I buy it new again?
But with the 1: 1 cars you can find this a little easier by “google” and (sorry for the advertising!) or is it already in the Van Dale as a verb?

No, unfortunately we haven't gotten around to better sorting options yet.
But I'm still looking at the photo gallery. Do you mean that instead of the year of the model car, you want to see the year of production of the 1: 1 car in the photo gallery? I just think it's more interesting for model car collectors to see the year of issue of the model car itself, right? Even though it may take a while before we all have them.
Or maybe I don't understand the question correctly?

René, the problem is this: the manufacturing years of the model cars are almost impossible to trace (I myself have been searching the internet for dozens of hours). The result is that almost everywhere the year is now marked “unknown”; and sorting by year makes little sense…
If you sort by year of manufacture of the 1: 1 car, the slideshow will show you the development / design of cars over the years. And that seems to me, personally, a great perspective!

There is something to be said for both arguments.
If you create a photo gallery by year of release, you will see the development over the years of construction qualities, design, materials used, etc. in the model car. Although you may miss a lot of years of model car release now, the beginning is here and it will only get better.
But if you make a gallery by year of the 1 on 1 car, you can see exactly what Bleuberry indicates the evolution from the very first cars to the current cars.
See as an example a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia from Lego issued in 1962 or that same car in a Maisto tuning version from 2008.
In the gallery in order of year of issue they are miles apart and you can see the evolution of the model car. built.
I think there will be many collectors who would like to choose from both options.
One time to view all issues of a particular year and the other to view a particular model or type of car from, say, 1975.

I think it should be possible to sort on both possibilities. For example, you could replace sorting by number. That adds namely doesn't really matter…

You really only use the option sort by number if you want to put all items from the same manufacturer in order.
If a lot of items are added in the future, this option may also be used more often.
It also does not always mean that every manufacturer adheres to a logical order, that the article number increases over the years, otherwise sorting by year of issue is enough.

I know brands like Matchbox and Wiking used the same numbers over and over ... for completely different cars ...

Another brilliant argument to replace sorting by number. If René is not convinced yet, I don't know anymore ;-)

Still I would like to see, for example, all Dinky Toys sorted by number. The problem here is that not only are many numbers missing, but that if you sort by number, you now sort “alphanumerically”, ie 263, 27, 294 and not numeric because there are also numbers with a letter addition and we do not yet have have a separate field “no addition” (we will do that but then data conversion is also needed).
Anyway, it is clear to me that there is a desire to sort on more fields than just the fields that are now visible in the photo gallery (that was the criterion).
The point is that we first had it in such a way that you could sort on all fields. We received complaints about this because people then sort on a field that is not visible in the photo gallery itself (such as the production year of the 1: 1 car is now not shown in the photo gallery below the photos) and then see that something occurs twice and that is not understand. For example: if you sort by Type and a model car has been entered with 2 types (that is possible, you can enter multiple values) then you will see this twice in the photo gallery. A solution might be to always show items only 1 time if you sort on fields that are not visible in the photo gallery. I will discuss this with Marco for a while.

I hadn't thought of it before, but sorting by “first year of production of the car” is already possible via the List. In the List view I now have "year orig." (original) added. This to distinguish from the year in which the model was released.
If you now click on "year orig." in the list you will get the cars in order of the production year of the original car.

OK René, thanx!
Do you think something like this is also possible for the photo gallery and the display case?
That would be totally the icing on the cake ...
