Sonos S2 order of artists and blank genre

Hi, I’m running Sonos 2 v12.1 on Pixel 4a (though I had this same issue on Pixel 2).

When I browse “On this Mobile Device” my music appears just fine under Albums, Songs, and Playlists. However, there’s no discernible sort order of Artists and my Genres are all empty. I’d appreciate some thoughts on how to resolve these. I’d like Artists in alphabetical order (or for someone to at least tell me what the sort order is) and for Genre to be populated. Thanks so much!

Artists - what order?
eh?

    Unlikely to be any update, Sonos focuses on streaming from the various service providers, and not from local sources. Streaming services is where the great majority of the Sonos system use is, apparently. On the other hand, they’ve made no changes that would hurt those of us who play from local sources, my Sonos works as well today as it did more than ten years ago when I started purchasing it.

    I don’t store music on my phone/pad beyond what was installed by the manufacturer. Mostly, I play from my NAS drive and occasionally from an online service. For me, one of the best features of the SONOS approach is that the system plays the music directly. Once I’ve started the music playing I can shut down my phone/pad/computer.
