What doesn't sort properly for you is adequate for the majority already, 
otherwise there would have been a lot more noise by now.

There may not be a fault, just a different way that you want it to work.

A lot of rippers won't set any ALBUMARTIST or BAND tag, and thus sorting will 
be by ARTIST tag.  This will be the majority of users.  There may be some 
people that have badly sorted artists, but I daresay the majority don't bother 
with any sorting at all.

Most probably rip their albums and inherit whatever tags have been defined in 
freedb, etc.  That probably means they have inconsistencies, spelling mistakes, 
etc.  They certainly won't have any specific ARTISTSORT tags to do proper 
sorting.  I recently ripped three Cranberries albums, and got "The 
Cranberries", "Cranberries" and "Cranberries, The".

How many people go into a record shop and look for "Phil Collins" albums under 
the P section?  How many look for Phil Collins under P in SqueezeCenter?  How 
many add an ARTISTSORT="Collins, Phil"?
