Please add support for sort tags

I made this request a year or so ago, and was told it would be passed on to the engineering team, but nothing happened, so I am asking again...

Could BluOS please support the use of Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist tags? They are currently ignored by BluOS, but other systems, such as iTunes and Sony's media players, do use them, and they are very helpful in displaying the library tidily.

I want to see an artist like Billy Joel filed under J - on Apple and Sony, I can achieve that by having the Artist field set to "Billy Joel" and the Sort Artist set to "Joel, Billy" - I then see "Billy Joel" in the Artist list under J. But on BluOS, the only way to have Billy Joel under the Js is to have the Artist set to "Joel, Billy", which looks messy.

Please consider implementing this - sort tags are a standard part of most tagging formats and have been for years, and it is really a bit backward that BluOS doesn't use them. Many thanks.

  Hi Simon

  You are correct that BluOS currently does not support the SORT tag. I have passed this feed back along to our product development team.
