Why Does the App No Longer Sort Albums by Album Artist?

Again in respect to the new app and the lack of support for local music libraries, has anyone noticed that albums are no longer sorted by Album Artist but by the Contributing Artists?

In my view, this means instead of having the single album of various artists, all songs are listed individually. How Sonos could stuff this up so badly beggars belief.

To be clear this has nothing to do with the app: the content is indexed and sorted by the speaker firmware, and that is what regressed recently. The app (well all apps) just display what the speakers them them.

At some point Sonos need to undo that firmware change, then we can all re-index our collections and restore some sense of normality.

Nope, not fixed. I have the same problem. Just found out now actually. Can’t remember it being a problem in the past. :(
