In response to a comment I added to a bug report, Ben Sandee told me, although I haven't tried this yet, that SlimServer supports certain ID3v2 tags that let you specify sorting criteria that are separate from the artist/album name. These tags are TSOP and TSOA for performer and album sort order, respectively. For example, you can have the artist tag set to "David Bowie" and the TSOP tag set to "Bowie, David". Then Bowie will fall between The Beatles and The Buzzcocks alphabetically, but still be listed as "David Bowie".
