New sorting question ...

Hi,

I know that one can modify how the artists should be sort out, say how "The Beatles" will be displayed as such in the artists column while appearing at the letter "B" instead of "T". Fine, but I still have a few related issues.

You know that some bands actually begin as a solo album from one of their members. For example, I have the "Planet X" album by Derek Sherinian which can be considered as the first album from his band "Planet X". I like the idea that this kind of records could be found under the band name and not the solo artist. So I simply tagged "Planet X" in the "artist for sorting out" info category and it works as intended. However, in other cases, it does not work.

For example I have this "Ambeon" record which is really related to "Ayreon" (Ambeon tracks are ambient variations on Ayreon music). I would like it to be found under the band name "Ayreon". However, when I tagged it "Ayreon" in exactly the same way that I tagged "Planet X" for the Derek Sherinian album, the outcome was different. It worked the wrong way. All Ayreon music is now listed under the "Ambeon" name. At the same time, the alphabetical sorting recognizes it as "Ayreon". So I can see Ambeon listed after "At Vance" or "Artension".

The intended outcome was to have the name Ayreon displayed in the artist column associated with both Ayreon and Ambeon records (listed after At Vance of course). This is really weird, given that it worked properly for several artists. Does someone have an idea?
