Sort album art properly by album name

Winamp 5.5 doesn't properly sort albums (in album view) by album title. It sorts by album and then sub-sorts by artist, which results in a wasteful presentation for any album composed by multiple artists.

See the attached .jpg for an example. My Stax Compilation shows up in album view as something like 30+ distinct albums, because there are various artists involved.

Ideally it would collapse these all into a single album (since that's what they came from) and replace the artist field with <Various Artists>.

Thanks!

That's what "Album Artist is for. Select the Tracks, Right click, "Edit selected items..." and enter something like "Various Artists" into the Album Artist field.
