This mean all my albums are listed in artist order which is my preference. However I have many albums and would like to put the albums in an alpha group for easier access.

When I do this, the albums are split by album title (so all albums beginning with A for example), but what I would like is for them to be split by artist (i.e. all albums by artists beginning with A). Is this possible please?

Many thanks.

Thanks for this suggestion. I think it would make sense to use the first tag in sortTags to do alpha-grouping (for all lists that support sortTags). I will investigate this and post back here.

Does anyone have any concerns about making this change to how alpha-grouping works?

Thanks for looking into it Simon - I would hope there won't be any concerns, like you say it makes sense that if one wants to sort items on a particular tag that the same sort would want to be applied when grouping them.
