My issue was that a number of artists and ALL of their albums were listed near the bottom alphabetically in the artist list of my LMS. I couldn't figure out why but finally did and wanted to post the solution.
I used Mp3tag software to compare the extended tags of those artists with ones properly sorted. It turned out that the artists not properly sorted were all part of at least one compilation disc in my library that had "Various Artists" listed for the ARTISTSORT tag. For example- Even though I have four Coldplay albums, because they are part of one compilation (soundtrack) album that had the ARTISTSORT tag listed as Various Artists it placed everything Coldplay in the letter V section. This explains why they were all listed under the letter V (Various Artists). After removing the ARTISTSORT tag from the entire compilation album's tracks and rescanning my library within LMS the problem was resolved! By the way, I left the ALBUMARTIST tag with Various Artists and COMPILATION tag = 1 so that I didnt have a mess of artists with only one track listed in my artist list. This keeps things clean and I can play the compilation when browsing the Albums area in LMS instead. I highly recommend the Mp3tag software. Its free, easy to use, and will help organize your library quickly. I hope this information helps others down the road.
