Bug Description
Short and Sweet. Sorting the collection by ID3v2 tags would be very nice. Specifically beneficial would be the "Album Artist" field. Its quite a nuisance to have all of your Various Artist albums categorized by the ID3V1 Artist title when the Id3v2 Album artist field is Set to Various Artist.

Unfortunately, the problem with the Album Artist field is that there is no standard way of storing it in a ID3v2 tag. Different players use different methods (iTunes/ WMP/Amarok/ maybe others use the TPE2 field (called the Band or Performer tag). I know that foobar2000 on Windows uses a custom tag (TXXX ALBUM ARTIST). Maybe it would be possible to allow using either style via a configuration option in the UI.
