Yes, the current method is a workaround and things should work as you describe once the issue is resolved. I checked the tracker and see that it’s still with our development team so I don’t have any updates yet, but I’ll be sure to let you know once more information is available on this.
Can I please get an update on this? Last I recall, after 6 weeks to replicate the problem, we concluded a bug in the Last Name sort for artist. Thanks.
