Improve sort option with a template

[SergioRequena]

First of all, thank you very much for all the work you’ve done on this project.

Now that there’s a first version of MetronInfo.xml, my request would be to allow customization of the sort option with a template, similar to what already exists for the file name.
In my case, I like to include the startYear in the directory name of a volume, and now that we have this information in the MetronInfo file, it should be possible. Apologies if this feature already exists, but I haven’t been able to find it.

Thank you.

No, it currently doesn't since it could merge multiple series that were published in the same year, like the 2 Alien series published by Marvel last year, which could cause the user to accidentily overwrite an existing file. That was the reasoning behind using a volume number, that each series is separated.

Anyway... I'm not opposed to adding this option, tho I'm not 100% sure a template option would be needed, maybe just a boolean setting to either use volume or start year when sorting, and then add some code to change the filename of a file if it already exists in the directory it's being moved to. I probably still need to give this a little more thought to make sure I've thought through any potential hick-ups.

You're right, I hadn't considered that possibility. Even so, I still believe the template would provide users with customization options for organizing their collection.

In my case: {publisher}/{startYear}/{series} {volume}
