Sorting in folders

I have been busy updating all the artist tags from 'First Name Last Name' to 'Last Name, First Name' to make use of the Artist.reverseName.display.index tag option.

I noticed a peculiar behaviour when I use the '/' character in the artist tag. MinimServer always replaces '/' with ', ' in the ARTIST index, with separate entries in the ALL ARTISTS index. Two examples:

1) 2 artists: 'Steve 1Abbott' and 'Bruce 1Cameron' (I use the 1s on purpose). They are entered in the Artist tag as '1Abbott, Steve/1Cameron, Bruce'. MinimServer displays them as '1Abbott, Steve, Bruce 1Cameron' in the ARTIST index (the first is incorrect, the second is correct), and correctly as 2 entries "Steve 1Abbott' and 'Bruce 1Cameron' in the ALL ARTISTS index. This looks like a MinimServer bug in the ARTIST index by ignoring the Artist.reverseName for the first artist before the '/'?

2) The artists of another song are 'Peter Maffay & Carlton/Engel'. Entered as 'Maffay & Carlton/Engel, Peter' in the artist tag, MinimServer should display them as 'Peter Maffay & Carlton/Engel'. However, it comes up as 'Maffay & Carlton, Peter Engel' in the ARTIST index, with 2 artists in ALL ARTISTS 'Maffay & Carlton' and 'Peter Engel'. It appears that I can't use '/' in this instance and should replace it with another character.

What is your take on the correct usage of '/'?
