Right, one of the artists that was being sorted correctly had a couple of
FLAC files where the ALBUMARTIST tag wasn't set. I set these tags, and now
that artist is also being sorted incorrectly.

I've looked, and you're correct.

So, it appears that (somehow) the ALBUMARTIST tag is affecting the
ARTISTSORT, causing it to be ignored?

Anyone with experience of the code comment? Should I report this as a bug?

Thanks
