On the vinyl albums discography for an artist, the earliest release is listed first.

On the CD albums discography for an artist, the latest release is listed first.

I much prefer the earliest release listed first. What do other contributors feel?

Early first seems better to me. It's pretty standard in discographies.

Earliest first makes more sense to me.

We're going to be re-jigging this later in the year.

It will be neither first nor last but something more complicated than that which I think will work better.

Yep,i too prefer the old - new way,more logical,but i can also see why some like the new - old way also,perhaps (if possible) we could have a toggle button for both?

Initial release first I say.

I'd like to see a rating system for the issues too...maybe an asterisk or something next to the editions that people most highly regard.

To be historically accurate, an artist's or group's first LP should be listed first and his/her/their most recent listed last.

I'm intrigued by the more complicated but better viewpoint. Perhaps, the albums will be put in release order, but with the reissues tagged on immediately after each original album. The Rare Record Price Guide experimented with something similar a few years back with the Bob Dylan entries.

With album re-issues, I think they should be discounted(except as a footnote to a first issue of the given LP or CD), For instance, for With The Beatles, list the first(original) issue of the album, then, as a footnote, make a reference to any re-issues the album's had, and any subsequent new catalogue numbers assigned to it.

Just to make things complicated,

how about a chart presentation, with the earliest title appearing at the top left, with subsequent chronological releases going down the page, but with another timeline going left to right, and all reissues in chronological sequence going out that way from the original issue? :grin:
