Bug Description
I have 3 Van Halen albums in my collection. In two of them, the ID3 tags list the artist name as "Van Halen". In one of them, the ID3 tags list the artist name as "VAN HALEN". Exaile lists the band twice in the collection tab on the left-hand-side, and lists each album under both capitalizations. In other words, the Collections tab has
....
VAN HALEN
Van Halen
...
and if I expand both, I see this:
...
VAN HALEN
1984
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
Van Halen
Van Halen
1984
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
Van Halen
...

Proper way to fix is to make internal sorting able to be case sensitive, so that each entry expands to the correct subset of tracks. The fact that there will still be two entries is a bug in your tags, not in Exaile, as there is no completely reliable way to detect which one is 'correct' inside of Exaile.
