Artist sorting in "remote-library"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Music @remote
2. Switch to Artist
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The artists are shown in a strange order - there's no option to sort them. I 
assume they are shown in the order the library on the main device has scanned 
them.
There should be some option to sort them by name, etc.

What version of XBMC Remote are you using?
1.0.9

Which Android device are you using (and which ROM, if custom)?
s3 mini

Which XBMC revision are you running and on which platform?

12.0 frodo - 

Please provide any additional information below.

Also experiencing this issues.

Artist order seems to be related to scanning order; new artists are added to 
the bottom of the list. I assume they are presented in order from remote DB (as 
I'm using a mySQL database to store media info)

I have the same issue with v1.0.9, build 1009, Samsung Galaxy S2 phone.  I 
cleared all data using the App Manager, but that did not fix it.  Also, Albums 
are sorted correctly, just Artists sorted with recent additions at the bottom.

Forgot to add the remaining technical details:
XBMC 12.2, Git: 20131101-0536b03 running on RaspberryPi RaspBMC
On the RaspBMC device, the new additions also started out at the bottom of the 
Artist list, but I resorted by changing to descending and then back to 
ascending, and the display on RaspBMC is correct.  Maybe this should be a 
feature request to add a sort option within the menu on XBMC Remote - Android.  
A sort option is in the menu for Albums, but not for Artists.
