I do not see an option to sort tracks by artist on the plex amp app but it seems it is possible on plex proper? Seems like this should be added to plex amp.

I see it on mine, on iOS. For me, I tap the music note icon in the bottom to go to Library, and it presents a list of sort methods. The very first one is “Artists”. What do you see? If it’s not there, what OS/phone do you use?

I know you can sort by artists generally as you show. But I want to be able to click “tracks” and then sort by artist.

Oh, that is what I was missing. A double sort option. Listing all song by track, grouping by artist. Hmm, I don’t see that option either.

Most likely, the limited UI space on mobile devices prevents that from being viable. I’d like this option too, btw.

Thanks for the suggestion @plexmeup666, this will be possible in the next release.
