Compilations at end?

Yes I don't think DbPoweramp has any data for ALBUMARTISTSORT so that is why it never adds it. But with SongKong I usually do have that data and to me it makes sense to add that data so it is clear what the sort value should be, if I just left it blank then it is not possible at a later date to determine if blank because same as ALBUMARTIST or blank because I didn't have the data and it hasn't been considered.

I'll give another example ISCOMPILATION=1 indicates an album is compilation, setting ISCOMPILATION=0 indicates an album is not a compilation, not having an ISCOMPILATION field at all we assume it is not a compilation, but we don't really know it may just not have been checked.

So there is a definite advantage in always setting the value, maybe for MinimServer the disadvantage of storing more data outweighs the advantage, I guess it depends on personal circumstances.
