Below is the help from Prefs, Album view sort.
by Album: Albums are sorted alphabetically.
by Artist: Albums for each artist are sorted alphabetically.
by Artist/Year: Albums for each artist are sorted chronologically.
by Year: Albums are sorted chronologically.
Note that when sorted by year if not all tracks in the album have the same year then the latest year will be used. If no year tag exists or if the year tag is not a number then no year information will be shown for that album.
These options work for most collections because one of the most common tagging schemes is to set Album Artist = Artist, or if the album is a compilation then Album Artist = a text string for example "Various Artists" thats used consistently in the collection to designate compilation albums.
