First by artist (asc), then by year (asc), and then by RELEASEDATE
(asc).

I will try to be more specific:

I am mainly using iPeng for iPad for controlling my Squeezebox Touch.
In iPeng I use mainly the Artist/All Artists menu (from the top level I
select “Artists” and then from that sub menu I select “All Artists”).
All the albums are listed (also compilations) and they are sorted by:
artist (asc), year (asc), album (asc). In most cases that would be more
than fine with me. However I would like to have some modifications for
this behaviour:

1)      Some artists have released more than one album in same year, and
those albums are sorted (inside year) ascending by album name and not
by releasing order so I would like to add one more sorting key:
releasing date (=custom tag). The sorting order shall be: artist (asc),
year (asc), releasedate (asc) (and maybe album name (asc)). Since most
of the files are not tagged with this custom tag RELEASEDATE I need use
also year for sorting.

2)      I would like to have  my new menu at the top level (=the same level
as Custom Browse) and not under the Custom Browse menu

3)      I would like that selecting my new menu at the top level goes
straight to the album list view without sub menu where I have to select
All Artists (or something similar).

4)      The new menu should looked just as standard iPeng menu above: for
every album I want to see album name, album artist and year. The album
artist and year are listed on their own rows and with smaller font than
album name.

So far I have managed to create a new menu which is almost the way I
want, but not quite. I am still having my menu under the Custom Browse
menu and I haven’t managed to fullfill my requirements #4.  The albums
are listed in correct order, I can see album name and year (with
smaller font than album name and also separate rows). I can show album
artist instead of year, but not both of them (album artist and year) as
I want.

English is not my first language but I hope you can get what I am
trying to say.
