I want more!

There is provision in the ID3 standard (the tagging mecanism for mp3, used by iTunes and others to store info in the mp3 files) to add a sort order for album, performer and song.

For this to work, iTunes should support these tags (and allow you to edit them), and they also should be supported by CDDB.

mp3rage (http://www.chaoticsoftware.com) supports some of them, I suppose.

From the id3.org website:

TSOA
The 'Album sort order' frame defines a string which should be used
instead of the album name (TALB) for sorting purposes. E.g. an album
named "A Soundtrack" might preferably be sorted as "Soundtrack".

TSOP
The 'Performer sort order' frame defines a string which should be
used instead of the performer (TPE2) for sorting purposes.

TSOT
The 'Title sort order' frame defines a string which should be used
instead of the title (TIT2) for sorting purposes.
