Unfortunatly the iPod app in iPhone/iPod touch is just a mess with no
options when it comes to tagging. Quite surprisngly since I thought
that was one of the main feature of these devices.

in iPhone:
The Artist list doesn't consider any Album Artist tags, but the now
playing screen show Album Artist info (so the tag is read). The famous
coverflow mode treats compilations correctly (sorted under Various
Artist), but that is not a artist list, its more of a visual album
listing.

So to my findings I can only play with the Artist-tag and
SortArtist-tag when I want to change the behavior in iPhone.

in iTunes:
the Album Artist are set to Various Artist as you set the
Compilation=yes

I use the SortAlbum-tag to make my albums to show in reverse
Cronological order for each Artist, this works fine for all solutions:
SBS (Web/Controller/iPeng),iPhone, iTunes.
