Hi New guy. I really enjoy this site. But I have 2 Questions.
Is there any way the Animes could also be sorted by dates?
Could an archive be created for Anime Soundtracks?
Thanks for reading.

Both the genre search and sorted list allow to sort the titles by date.
The list of soundtracks we have in the Encyclopedia can be seen on the releases page.

A related suggestion:

The sorted list is good. It would also be nice if you could change the encyclopedia entries for people and companies to sort by date though. (An option to sort in other ways such as what they contributed would be cool as well).

That's partially possible, by setting your preferences to sort titles by year for Japanese cast/staff (last option). It only works for Japanese cast/staff because I think it doesn't make sense to sort non-Japanese credits by Japanese production date. The dub order could easily be different from the production order.

Not sure what you mean by that.

That's exactly what I wanted. Thanks. I didn't know you could do that.

Well for instance, you could set it to show first works the person directed, then stuff they wrote, then character design, etc. Or for companies it would first list titles they've licensed, then distributed, etc. It would be good for sifting out the more minor stuff like in between animation etc if you're just looking for the stuff a person or company has been involved with in a major capacity. I guess it might be tough to do though with multiple credits though. I dunno. It was just an offhand though.

@ikillchicken: You can do that for persons, but not for companies. I only discovered this recently. Go to the encyclopedia section (click on the green encyclopedia button on the top right of the website below the search space/button). Click on Customize the appearance of the Encyclopedia. The last option is When displaying a person's details: For Japanese cast/staff, sort titles by year instead of alphabetically. Check it. Now whenever you enter a cast/staff page on ANN, it will display the year and sort the titles they were involved chronologically (if someone managed to input it).
