I know that the ARTISTSORT tag will cause problems if there are multiple
values, but has anyone found a workaround using a third-party plug-in? I
want to be able to use it with both mp3 and FLAC files.

I am thinking of something like a custom tag, such as ARTIST-SORT, that
can have two fields. The first field would be the artist's name as it is
to be displayed and would be required; the second field would be the
sort order and would be optional. There could be multiple ARTIST-SORT
tags. If there were one or more ARTIST-SORT tags, the system would
ignore the ARTIST tag(s); if there were no ARTIST-SORT tags, the system
would use the ARTIST and ARTISTSORT tags. As an example, if a track was
a duet with USHER and Tammy Wynette, the two ARTIST-SORT tags would be
(1) 'Usher', and (2) 'Tammy Wynette;Wynette, Tammy' where ';' would be
the field separator.

Has such a tool been developed already, and if not, can someone point
me in the right direction so I can try to do this using Erland's
plug-ins? I am somewhat familiar with both SQL and XML.

Thanks
