First of all, I wanted to refer to albums (since that's what you where talking about), not artists - sorry for the confusion.

It could be changed to do so, but then local sorting wouldn't work anymore. I'll make a note of it and revisit the issue when I have more time. doctor_big wrote: > > by The* eg "The Band" thru "The Isley Brothers" (note that this also > ends near the "J"s) > So it's really Los XX The Isley...

It would be possible to extend the artist view to be switchable, but this would require some effort on my part. I'll make a note of it and revisit the issue when I have more time. doctor_big wrote: > > Edit: part of the problem is from clicking on the sort ascending by Name > in the title bar.

While my library only has ~5K artists, the sort order is exactly how it should be (both default and ascending by name) doctor_big wrote: > > Nothing past that point so I'd wager there's some sort of limit on size > of the container. If there's really some sort of size limit, there probably isn't much I can do about, since it will be in the framework providing the UI elements. Do you have the same limit with albums (these are loaded by page, but the container used to display them is the same type) ?
