I agree with this, Rhythmbox should sort AlbumArtist instead of Artist, particulary when it comes to compilations and Various Artists releases. With an Artist sorting, a compilation will create an entry for each artist and its song, whereas AlbumArtist will create a Various Artists entry, containing the differents compilations and their respective artists inside. Getting the things much clearer.

Thanks,
