My album sort order shown below has is sorted alphabetically but the album artist category Various Artists take precedence over the Album Title, how do I force it to sort on Album Title only.

I removed the Album Artist tag from any compilation albums.
EDIT
TouchJams sorts by ARTIST name, so the sorting in your image is correct. I'm not aware of any way to change the sorting from ARTIST name to ALBUM name or any reason why anyone would want to do this.

Thanks bit a late seeing the new advice after i spent an hour changing the tags and 4 hours updating the music database to find it didnt change anything. I wanted it sorted by Album so my Album start screen shows alpha sorting by album not higgledy piggledy by whatever. Be nice to have a button to change the sort order by artist or album name but heyho. If sorting is by artist then compilation albums will always be Various Artists so will be in no order at all, when I select Artist in the main heading I want sorting by artist but when I select Album I expect sorting by Album, is that not reasonable? However I must say that apart from that I love this software, I have heavily modified my favourite skin and graphics and it works well on even older less powerful PCs and it does exactly what I want it to do except for the sorting .

I don't know if this will help in anyway to create something you seem to be looking for. I use mp3tag for editing. You could change the album artist to match the album. For instance your Classic Rock albums you could name the album artist Classic Rock Artists A-E. This would then "move" the album to "C" in the order. Another example would be renaming the album artist for Greatest Ever Soul and Disco. Greatest Ever Soul and Disco Artists would then appear in the order of "G". Hope I made some sense of that.
