When you see the problem, are you looking at the albums in the # albums list on the top-level menu or in some other place?"

I'm looking at the top level:
Synology NAS MinimServer > 15042 albums

"What is your complete setting for the tagOptions property?"

Thanks for this. I understand what is causing the problem.

Your setting for Album.sortTags has AlbumSort first and Album second. This will sort all albums that have an AlbumSort tag before all albums that don't have an AlbumSort tag. I presume you have recently started adding AlbumSort tags to your albums and this is why the recent albums are appearing first.

The simplest way to solve the problem is to change your settings to the following:

tagOptions: Album.sortTags={Album, Artist}
tagValue: Album.value.sort={AlbumSort}

This will use the AlbumSort tag as the sort value of the Album tag for albums that have an AlbumSort tag. For albums that don't have an AlbumSort tag, the sort value of the Album tag will be the same as the value of the Album tag.
