Can Library be switched from sort by 'Album Artist' to sort by 'Artist' only?

[rongon]

Preferences/Library(Advanced)/Tag View Artist is the setting you are after.  Set that to Artist and the tag view will show only what is in the Artist tag.

It seems the problem is this feature is not working in my installation. 
As previously noted, I had tried that and noticed no difference in the way the Library > Tag view displays contents in the Artists column. 
To be clear... 

- If I set Preferences/Library(Advanced)/Tag View Artist to 'Album Artist', Moode shows the contents of the Album Artist tag in the Library > Tag view > Artists column. 

- If I set Preferences/Library(Advanced)/Tag View Artist to 'Artist', Moode still shows the contents of the Album Artist tag in the Library > Tag view > Artists column.

For me, it's the same either way. I even updated the settings and regenerated the music library in Configure > Library. Still no joy. I suppose that means there's an issue in my Moode 8.1.2 install. It's not obeying that command. 

Any suggestions how to troubleshoot this? 

Thanks.
