have a look at the docs ..... section
TagOption: and in there
album.sorttags={......}

hint: ask youself what might happen if you for example use
album.sorttags={album,discnumber}

and remember ... defining about how MinimServer does sort/split things won't affect about how things are .display(ed) since that's a separated configuration thing.
Means if not being defined an album gets displayed using the albumtitle.

And no I wouldn't recommend wasting your life with tagging. MinimServer is most times clever enough to compensate such things (as long as your tagging strategy is same all across your collection).
You could likely solve most issues that way, but I wouldn't recommend using the discnumber this way. This is something where you should think about something differnt.

I did what you mentioned on SortTags, but it does not change the number of albums.

MinimServer, even if a great tool, cannot compensate bad tagging; same as you can't do a good dish using bad ingredients, even if you are a great cook.

And you are right about my tagging strategy. Apart from being fully retired, when can I retag 6000+ albums, representing 93305 tracks ?
