RMB on just added tracks, have the option List → Shuffle list, all songs will be shuffled in random order.
How can I shuffle this list by albums? Forum search didn't get the results

The answer to this question will depend upon what you mean by 'just added tracks' (this might be a playlist, tracks just sent to the Playing Tracks panel, a selection of tracks in your library.....)
We would also need to know the view you are currently using.
It would be best if you could post a screenshot of your whole MusicBee window so we can see where you are and what you are referring to and to try and reduce the need for any further back and forth.

Sure. I added albums to playing now list (orange), right clicked and found that there is only one option in context menu: List → Shuffle list means shuffle tracks but I want to shuffle the albums

Thanks for that - it's much clearer with a picture.
Unfortunately I don't believe that there is a way to shuffle by album here (at least none I can work out). Possible options for you:
• Configure your shuffle settings (Edit Preferences > Now Playing) as 'Random' and 'Select by Album'. Then just turn on shuffle. This won't shuffle the list visually but will play the Playing Tracks list randomly by album.
• Send the albums to a playlist first. If you use the 'Album and Tracks' view (or 'Tracks' view grouped by album) for the playlist then the same shuffle list function (but on the playlist) will shuffle by album.
• Using 'Album and Tracks' view, if you use the 'Column Browser' with <Album> as one of the fields displayed: Select multiple albums in the browser, then right-click anywhere in the main panel > Play More > Play All Tracks Shuffled
(I'm sure there are more ideas out there.)
