Not to keen on sorting per-genre. However, Material has the concept of 'Composer genres' and 'Conductor genres'. For a genre defined in 'Composer genres', when you list 'My Music -> Genres -> GenreName' it will prompt to show 'Artists', 'Albums', or 'Composers' - likewise with 'Conductor genres'. So, I could save the album sort order for 'Composer genres'/'Conductor genres' separately. Then Material would save 4 album-sort orders; - Order of Albums in main 'Albums' list - Order of Albums under one of the 'Artist' lists, under 'Genres' where genre is not one of the Composer/Conductor genres - Order of Albums in the 'Albums' list for a genre in Composer/Conductor genres when navigated via 'My Music -> Genres -> $GenreName -> Albums' - Order of Albums under one of the Artists/Composers/Conductors lists for a genre in Composer/Conductor genres when navigated via 'My Music -> Genres -> $GenreName -> Artists/Composers/Conductors -> $Name' 1&2 alreadty exists, 3&4 would be new.
