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

[Tim Curtis]

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.

It works ok on my end. I have albums where the Artist and AlbumArtist tags differ for example Lee Ritenour's 6 String Theory. The Album Artist is Lee Ritenour but each track has a different Artist.  For this album all the individual artists are listed in Tag view artists column.

The first screen shot below shows the tracks in Tag view. The artist for the track "Am I Wrong" is "Keb'Mo & Taj Mahal" and this artist is listed in the artists column. The second screen shot shows the tags for that track. 

         

Feel free to zip up a couple of albums and PM a download link to myself and @TheOldPresbyope and we'll see if we can repro the issue you are having.
