Hello Rich, and welcome to the forum!
In the Music tab, you can specify the view type for the main panel by clicking on its panel header:
- Tracks
- Album and Tracks
- Album Covers
- Artists
- Jukebox
Except for the "Artists" view, in the same panel header menu, under sub-menu "Sort By", you can choose your preferred order or define a custom one.
Note "Sort Ascending" and "Sort Descending" at the sub-menu bottom.
