I don't know why you keep picking on me - Mr Sinatra wrote another large email, 
mainly bringing up info about the other thread rather than answering 
ModelCitizen's actual problem, and I write one line to say that his problem 
isn't the same issue.

I can't see what is wrong with Browse Artists > Nigel Kennedy with artwork view 
turned on?  That seems to be exactly the output you want to see.  In addition, 
it will work faster (because the UI won't be rendering other albums by artists 
you are not looking for, and you don't have to scroll down to find the ones in 
the album list that have your desired artist.

The option to change sort order appears in album context for all browse 
methods.  eg. Browse Years, pick a year, to get a view of albums in that year.

Sorting by album or year options are fine, as it is only possible to have one 
album name and one year associated with each album.  Mr Sinatra wanted TPE2 to 
be used as Album Artist such that this would also be fine for sorting by album 
(as there would always be only one artist name to sort the list by), and I 
think we are okay with that discussion; an enhancement request has been raised.

However, sorting albums by genre would still be a problem; and there's no way 
of specifying the primary genre.  I guess it always sorts the album by the 
first genre tag when there are more than one?

What you want is when album context is sorted by artist first, for albums with 
more than one performer (no Album Artist defined and not a compilation) to 
appear under each performer.  I guess this should be the same with album 
context sorted by genre (album to appear under each genre).  Sorting album 
context by genre is especially weird, as the genre isn't even displayed next to 
each album.

I suggest you raise an enhancement request.
