Add ALBUMSORT tags to your files (Assuming you use FLAC or Ogg/Vorbis. Use TSOA in MP3 files. I have no idea what to use in any others, since it's never been documented.) Make the ALBUMSORT tag equal genre, then artist name (or ARTISTSORT if you want lastname/firstname order), then album name. I've done this to my whole collection using mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/), which can be scripted to build the ALBUMSORT tag from the existing tags. I use browse artwork almost exclusively, sorted by artist, year, album name - a typical ALBUMSORT tag looks like:
