Artist sort not working with album with different artists #747

Although Phonograph does not provide Album Artist sort, Artist sort has a serious bug/flaw :

When an album has songs with different artists those artists are not sorted alphabetically but pop-up somewhere in the artist or album list (when albums are sorted by artist). By the way Google's and Samsung's Music Players do not have this issue.

Example in screenshots. Live album by David Bowie (Album Artist) and Artist on all tracks except first tracks (of CD 1 and CD2) which has Wendy Carlos as artist (David Bowie as Album artist). Wendy Carlos is not sorted under 'W'....

Furthermore it states 20 songs under artist 'Wendy Carlos' which is not true (should be 2).

Would be nice if this will be corrected.

Developers already have knowledge of this issue, it has been posted many times. Next version will correct this error and will have support for Album Artist

I'm having this same issue. @mardous can you say when the new version will come out? It's been almost three months since you posted that, which seems like a long time. Thanks!
