Hi,
I have set the "Album Artist Sort Order" tag to "Various Artists" for all of my compilations.
When using the "Album Artist" view, I have activated "Use Sort Tags" in "Modifier"
However, the "Album Artists" view still displays the compilation artists in the main list.
The same applies for the "Artists" view.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
From memory, I believe this worked as I expected in the old 2.x version.
Cheers, Lutz

2.x didnt support sort order tags
The sort tags are strictly for sorting and will not display in the list. The regular album artist tag will be what is displayed. If your album are various artist then you should just set the album artist tag as Various Artist

The sort tags essentially are invisible except to the database. Besides keeping compilation albums properly intact, they are also helpful for sorting artist,album artist,and composer in last name, first name format. So while the name displayed remains "John Lennon" it would be sorted under L as Lennon, John if that is what the sort tag is.
