Also, have you tried adding items or items=100 to alphaGroup and checking whether the 'n items' list is alpha grouped? The 'n items' list should also be a very long list.

Removing all=100 and setting Title=100 does not alphagroup the titles
Replacing all=100 by items=100 does alphagroup Titles, but does NOT alphagroup albums
Just having all=100 does alphagroup Titles AND Albums

Doing a crosscheck by removing "Album Artist" from the alphagroup list, so "all/items" comes into play:
all=100 will alphagroup "Album Artist"
items=100 will NOT alphagroup "Album Artist" (items=50 will also not alphagroup it, the list of Album Artists is extensive!)
JUST "items" without any numbers will alphagroup "Album Artist", but NOT Albums

Hope, this helps!

Thanks for this. See my comments below.

This would be expected if you are viewing titles using the 'n items' list. It should not happen if you are viewing titles via the Title index.

This is as expected.

I don't understand how this could happen. Setting items in alphaGroup should only affect the 'n items' list.

Quote:but NOT Albums

This is as expected. To group Albums, you need to set 'albums' or 'all'.

I think I understand what is happening.

When translated into German, the 'n items' index is displayed as 'n Titel' where n is some number. This is not the same as the Title index, which is dispayed as 'Title' with no number preceding Title.

Adding Title to alphaGroup should group the 'Title' index but not the 'n Titel' index. Adding items to alphaGroup should group the 'n Titel' index but not the 'Title' index.
