---- What I expected to happen----
Rhythmbox MUST have an option to sort music in this order:

ALBUM artist
 |__Album Title
        |_Songs

*Album Artist is the official artist of the whole album, even if in this album there are songs belonging to another artist

----What happened instead----
I expected that sorting instead of (or aditional to):

Artist
 |__Album Title
        '-Songs

----Why it is very important?----
Because when you have a lot of compilation discs (these are discs that was made by various artists together, so the "Album Artist" is "Various Artists" BUT EACH song has his own artist)... what we want to see?

Alb. Artist 1
Alb. Artist 2
Alb. Artist 3
Various Artist
  |_Album XXXX
  | '-Songs (all together)
  |_Album YYYY
  | '-Songs (all together)
  '-Album ZZZZ
        '-Songs (all together)

And not this other way, Why? because you have a lot of different artists in different places and with few songs (commonly one or two) that actually are part of the same album:

Artist 1
Artist 2
  '-Album XXXX
       '-two songs
Artist 3
Artist 4
  '-Album XXXX
       '-one songs
Artist 5
Artist 6
  '-Album XXXX
       '-other songs

And so on with the other artist of the album YYYY and ZZZZ.

Thanks for this space, I know it is very simple in programing terms, but make a big difference in terms of user experience.
