One last thing I suspect may be of use for you.
Create a new column with these settings:
Lookup Name: yearpublished
Column Heading: Year Published
Column Type: Column built from other columns
Template:
Code:
program:
p = format_date(raw_field('pubdate'), 'yyyy');
if p then
strcat(re(p, '^(...).*', '\1'), '0s.', p)
else 'Unknown'
fi
Sort/search by: Text
Show in Tag Browser: checked
It will add this handy column to your tag browser, grouping by decade -- you'll need to set the column to a hierarchical one in preferences/look & feel/tag browser.
