It's mentioned in the comments, but I'm not sure that was ever within
the bug's scope. That bug is mostly (or completely?) fixed. It works in
the web interface, and now with the onebrowser work, the setting at
Settings > Advanced > Album Sort Method works throughout the
SqueezePlay interface.

This problem is:

1. Dates are stored as numeric year values, so there's no ability to
set finer grained dates to have albums released in the same year
chronologically ordered.

2. The workaround that many people have used doesn't work well for him
because he wants browsing albums to be sorted by album name. *

The solution within SBS would be to store and sort dates as strings
instead of numbers and permit something longer than four digits.

(* Personally, I can't see why anyone ever wants to browse albums by
name. If I have an album in mind that I want to play, yeah, I know its
name, but I'd have to browse through a list of 2700 albums to find it.
I also know the artist's name, so it's much easier to scroll through my
list of 900 artists and then select the album. To me, if I'm "just
browsing" for something to play, browsing albums by name is essentially
random.)
