Bug Description

Feature request:
Better way sort a new (library) scanned tracks.
Date created column, which uses files creation date. for sorting purposes.

Now date addedd is messy, because of multithread scan, and songs wont sort well by date added column,

It's annoying trying to rate and listen a new songs if you have added more than two albums.
because all tracks are random listed if sorted by date added column.

Or use file date created date for date added column, because its added to my computer that date.

thanks

Maybe both options?

Maybe new tracks should be added in order of their creation/modification date? Not sure what the resolution of the date added crate is, but if each one was added milliseconds after the previous one, then sorting would work better.

Or store a separate "file modified" date.
