Maybe the sort order is useful with smaller libraries, but I really don't see 
much point with a large library.

If I browse by... album, I get a list of 900 ish albums.  It doesn't matter 
what sort order I select or if I switch to gallery view, I will still see a 
list of 900 ish albums.
Sorting this list by "year, album", means I get a view with 20 pages.

Oh, I just noticed that when sorted by year, the year is added to the end of 
each album name.  I hadn't noticed before because my first 2 pages worth of 
albums don't have years, so I asumed the whole list would be like that.

Note to self: I really must fill in the missing year tags for those albums!

It's the page links I have trouble with, I guess.  I mean, if I wan't to find 
an album in 1990, I don't know what page to jump to.  Much easier to Browse 
By... Year, and then select sort by album, which is kind of equivalent, except 
heirarchical rather than a long list.

Also, this view would be really hard to navigate with the Player UI.

I think some additional heirarchy views would be much nicer, and translate well 
to Player UI too.  Options to Browse Aritst or Genre by New Music age would be 
good too.
