The more I get into MusicBee, the more I understand it and I think it's really a great program.
I still have a little problem though as following:

I want to sort some "Various Artists" Albums with an alternative Album name but I can't get it to work.

What I did so far:
1. Went to the Album -> Edit ->  Sorting -> Album sort as (entered the alternative name)
2. Went to Preferences -> Sorting/Grouping -> Ticked the box "enable custom sort values"
3. Checked in Album Name sorting List if the "sort as" values are there and correct, they are

But the album still doesn't sort by the "sort as" name.
I'm running 3.3.7491 P, the latest full version (standalone)

Am I missing something ?
Thank you for your patience and support :)

Questions / Multiple Sort Criteria

Hi, first of all a big thank you for MusicBee  ::) I really find it wonderful to organise all my music.
I am a newbee and I am trying to achieve the following:
Typically I am sorting my library with the standard "Album Artist/Year/Album" feature, which is perfect.
I do have a few "Album Artists" (Soundtrack, Various Artists, Various Artists Pop, Various Artists Rock, Various Artists Romantic) that I would like to sort differently by  "Album Artist/Album/Year".
Through Virtual Tags I can only change the sorting for one of the "Various Artists" categories.
Is there a good way to permanently change the view so that All Individual Artists are sorted by "Album Artist/Year/Album" and defined "Various Artists" are sorted by "Album Artist/Album/Year" ?
I played around a lot, but unfortunately couldn't get it done.
Thank you for your help and support
