[Implemented] Allow sort options in Artist page

[beckfield]

In Plex Web, when I view the page for an artist with multiple albums, the albums are displayed in reverse order of their release date, or so it seems.  There is no way to modify this.

 


 

In the current design, the intuitive expectation is that the albums should be sorted according to the "Sort Album" entry in the Edit Album popup.

 

The preferred behavior, in my opinion, is that the user be able to select the sort order, in the same way the user selects the sort order in the Library/By Album view.

It turns out there is a hidden way to do this:  https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201105343-Advanced-Server-Settings

Hopefully it will be unhidden in the future.

I’d also like for the setting to be adjustable per artist, and not a single setting only across my whole library.

Good idea.  I can see where that would be useful.  I'm not getting many 'Likes' on this, though.

The option is global at this point and I don't think there's a list of all valid choices, but I can say for certain that year:asc works to get albums ordered chronologically.  I will never understand why the default was made backwards from this.
