That's how I have it set, my config file has
variousArtistAutoIdentification: 1
And SS does list them as VA in Browse Artists.
Just not Browse Artwork.

What would sorting by albums.namesort have to do with VA?
Maybe you mean contributors.namesort?
Here's the data in my DB for a VA (multiple artist) album (I've
elided the empty columns):
sqlite> select * from albums where title like "Folkscene%3%";
id = 526
title = Folkscene Collection, Vol. 3
titlesort = FOLKSCENE COLLECTION VOL 3
titlesearch = FOLKSCENE COLLECTION VOL 3
contributor = 308
compilation = 1
year = 2001
artwork = 7518
sqlite> select * from contributors where id = 308;
id = 308
name = Loreena McKennitt
namesort = LOREENA MCKENNITT
namesearch = LOREENA MCKENNITT
I suspect all that's needed is a patch something like this:

}
Hopefully you get the idea even if it is not syntactically correct.
I may have time tonight to debug and test this hypothesis.
