How do I get compilation albums to appear as albums?

[ricecrispies]

I have a compilation album which appears as 15 1-track albums, no matter what I do. I have read in other posts that I should put "Various Artists" in the "album artist" field for all the tracks, but this doesn't work for me, even after I have tried to force MusicBee to refresh by closing it and restarting it. Even if I set MusicBee to list album artists in the left panel, it simply refuses to. How can I get my compilation albums to be seen as albums?

If you've read some of the many other threads asking a similar question and those suggestions haven't worked for you, I think your best chance of getting a solution is to post some screenshots, or you'll just get the same answers again.

A good start would be:

* Your current view with the album shown incorrectly
* The Tag Editor for one of the album tracks
* The settings from Edit > Edit Preferences > Sorting/Grouping
