I think  "2010 A, 2010 B, 2011 A"  --> "2011 A, 2010 A, 2010 B" would be
better so just changing the sort on 'Year' from ascending to descending
in each case. Some people may prefer the existing sort so an option to
select by ascending or descending year may be preferable.

There are three instances for sorting on 'Year' - the following seems
most logical;

_Artist,_Year,_Album_
First sort 'Artist' ascending, then sort 'Year' descending, then 'Album'
ascending

_Year,_Album_
Sort 'Year' descending

_Year,_Artist,_Album_
First sort 'Year'' descending, then sort 'Artist' ascending, then sort
'Album'  ascending

So for the instance you gave (matching _Year,_Album)_ it would become
"2011 A, 2010 A, 2010 B"


But leave the original as an option as well
"2010 A, 2010 B, 2011 A


At least that's my take on it. I have no idea how that would impact on
Material coding or if it must be done through LMS. Need @mherger input
here I think.
