What sort options are available now for Album?

Essentially I wanted to use the coverflow view, sorted by album artist. However when you get to the various artist albums section (when you scroll to the V's), they are randomly sorted. It therefore needs a secondary sort by album name.

    Yes, like that but when I get to say "Now That's What I Call Music" albums, the order of the albums is random. See attached screengrabs.
    My screenshots refer to MP2. I just wanted to demonstrate that it is possible to display your Various Artists the way you like. Can't help you in MP1.

    If you would like to send me your album I can import it into my MP2 system and check how it gets displayed.
