MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Sort: leave entries for which the tag is empty at the bottom of the lists

Hi Mayibongwe,
Thanks for the idea but I don't think we can achieve that with virtual tags. When sorted in ascending order the entries with the tag empty can indeed be sorted at the bottom of the list by using a virtual tag, but then if we change the sort to descending order the entries will be back to the top of the list.
What is desired here is an option to always keep the entries with empty tag at the bottom of the list, whatever the sort order.
See the example here:

The desired behavior is implemented for example in the tables in AllMusic.com. In this page: https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-beatles-mn0000754032/discography/compilations
Sort the table by the Year column. There are many compilations without year indicated in this table, and they remain at the bottom of the list. The other behavior would just be painful.
