Artists filed by their sort name

Inside any music-shaped node, artists are grouped and alphabetised by the Sort Album Artist tag, not by the display name. This is the part that surprises people, so here is exactly what happens.

Worked example. Suppose a track is tagged:

  • Artist = Bob Dylan
  • Sort Album Artist = Dylan, Bob

In the browsing tree, Dylan is filed under the letter D (from Dylan, Bob), not under B (from Bob Dylan). The sort tag drives both the grouping and the alphabetical position, exactly the way a hi-fi browser or a record shop would file it.

It's automatic and driven entirely by your existing MusicBee tags — there's nothing to configure.
