Using the Tag Editor enter the disc number in the disc field.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

If you have defined a custom tag for the type of album, in the library browser or in the main panel you can group the albums by that tag.

For #2, use the artist and albumartist fields:

For a regular release like say Nirvana's "Nevermind":

Artist = Nirvana
Albumartist = Nirvana

For compilations:

Artist = the song's artist
Albumartist = Various Artists

Artist = Nirvana
Albumartist = Nirvana
actually assigning an albumartist is not required in this case. if album artist is empty then artist will be used automatically as album artist.
