Year option now missing from iTunes

I have over 22,000 tracks in my iTunes library - all of which are dated by year - so I can choose, when I want to, to play songs from a particular year. That option has now mysteriously disappeared and I cannot seem to find a way to get it back. Why does Apple seemingly and randomly decide to change options?

Use the Songs view. Enable the Year column.

Thanks. I've done that and it has seemed to resolve the issue. However, the 'year' column did not immediately reappear in my iTunes. I had to go to 'View' then 'Show View Options' and then check the year box. Maybe I only needed to do this last time but I thought I had tried all available choices. Maybe not. Anyway, it's now operational again. Thanks for your comments.
