So currently if I go to the Artist listing, I can select an Artist and it will show me the albums in chronological order (sorting preference set this way). Love the fact that this option is available. The "All Songs" option is available at the top. Upon selecting this option, it shows me all the songs for the artist in alphabetical order, and I noticed that it allows me to sort based on track number, year, etc.
Is there a way to show all of the songs for the artist I've selected in track listing order based on the album sorting scheme I've selected? I would assume no. I suppose then the other question is should/can I make the request for such a sorting feature?

grouping by album, then track order is definitely doable.. however specifying the ordering of the albums in this case might be much more difficult. I would have to investigate
any suggestion I get in the forums is taken as a request.. there is no special way to ask for a feature

alright i added new sort options for all songs: Album Asc/Desc and Album Year Asc/Desc
Album Asc/Desc will group by album, then order by disc num then track no
Album Year will sort by year, then album, then disc num, then track no
these will be in the next update

Sorry to resurrect this ancient thread, but I found it searching for a solution for my problem, and now I think that this issue still or again exists.
Sometimes, I want to listen to all albums of an artist in chronological order.
So, I open the artist browser, select the artist. GMMP then shows me all albums of this artist, sorted by year (I set it up like this). If I now press the "All Songs" option, the playback queue is filled with all the albums, allright - but NOT sorted in the way the artist/album browser shows them, but sorted alphabetically by album title.
In the settings for the song browser (that's the only place where I found this option), I set the sort order for "all songs" to "Album Year Asc/Desc". But this has no effect, as described above. Just out of interest (I normally do not use the title browser) I opened this tab and saw that, although the setting is "Album Year Asc/Desc", this view shows me all songs in alphabetical order of the song title!
So, either my settings are completely botched, or there is something really wrong with the sort order stuff, in "all songs of an artist" as well as in "all songs"...
