The "sort" tags get messy because while MPD supports ArtistSort and AlbumArtistSort tags moOde considers Artist, AlbumArtist, Performer and Conductor as "artists" which are displayed in the Artists list.
Using first last name for display and sort of artists is more natural and its the way Music services present the content and most users are using a Music service.
I guess I am just an old curmudgeon then.

There are very few programs that use AlbumArtistSort. I only ever found one that did it the way I wanted, and I can't remember what it was. I know iTunes sorts this way.
