I saw this post [Filter by date?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/10687/1) and it pointed me to the RAW data and I've tried various combinations of %\_file\_mod\_datetime\_raw%\>%\_file\_create\_datetime\_raw%, but I can't get the output I need. All of my filters just end up showing everything.

The syntax for an appropriate filter expression was shown in this post ...  
[Filter by date?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/10687/4)  
For example:  
"$ifgreater(%\_file\_mod\_datetime\_raw%,%\_file\_create\_datetime\_raw%,1,0)" IS 1

But your problem cannot be solved by comparison of file modification and file creation.
