Hmmm... I did what you suggested but ArtistSort isn't showing at all on my control point. I still only see the default indexes: Artist, Date, Genre, All Artists, Composer

I know that this field normally works for me as I have on occasion added Album Artist to indexTags and that show on my control point.

What would be an incorrect "ArtistSort Tag"? I am simply adding the name I wish the albums to be sorted under - is this not correct?

The quick check you have performed, as per Simoncn suggestion, appears to indicate that your files do not contain an ArtistSort tag field. The value should be irrelevant, unless it is empty!

Do you have another method of checking that the tag exists, perhaps your tagging editor. Details of it and screen prints may be useful.

Also, you could use another Minimserver feature to list all of your files' tags and their values. The 'writeAllTags' property will output to an appropriate file that you have to provide as input to the property. Check out the Write All Tags section of the User guide.
