Components
Frostwire torrent downloader is one of my favourite music players right now. It is an open source app built to render quality service to just anybody. It is swift and simple yet combines audio/video player. It's download speed is amazing. Unfortunately there are areas that still need to be addressed, one of such areas is the "sort by" option which does not have "date added or modified" feature. Because of this lack, users cannot sort newly downloaded or added files by date.
Proposal
I suggest the aforementioned feature be added to this app to give users further satisfaction. An instance where a user downloads plenty songs within a short period of time, he or she tends to forget the titles of some of the newly added songs therefore resolving at using the "date added" feature.
Mockups / Examples
When click on the "sort by" button, the following page lists sort by options which includes features like A-Z, Z-A, YEAR, ARTIST, ALBUM, DURATION and FILENAME. The afore suggested feature is missing. You can see on the screen shots below.
Now the screen shot below shows where this feature could best be placed on the application to make it a lot smarter.
Benefits
The benefit users and the developers of this app stand to get is simple. Users problem stated earlier would be solved as we would be able to find songs by the date we downloaded or modified them. The software would also do better in the market with similar notable applications which already have this function.
