Vegas Pro 11 - Sorting Clips by Date/Time Stamp

Hey all. I've got a bit of an issue. I'm trying to put together a commemorative video from a recent family vacation. I've got about 300 clips, all shot by 3 or 4 different people. Most of the clips were recorded on Canon HV30s.

After importing the clips from about 20 tapes, I'm trying to organize them chronologically in the Project Media folder. The correct Date/Time stamps appear for each clip, but when I try to sort on that column (by clicking on Date/Time Stamp so that the sort arrow on the column appears), it doesn't work - the clips stay listed by the order I imported them. Am I missing something ? Is this a known bug ?

Nick, Thanks for the HDV Split file.

I was surprised that Vegas 7.0d shows that the file is being decoded by the Sony decoder rather than the MainConcept decoder. That is not what I remember from the testing I did many years ago.

8.0c shows it the same way.

However, in 10.0e, the properties show a completely new and different DLL -- compoundplug.dll -- being used. So, it looks like SCS did a second re-write of the HDV decoding algorithms, or at least put them into a different DLL.

Lots of stuff in V10 is lumped into compoundplug.dll, including HDV and AVCHD etc..
