If I understand correctly, you're saying:
Album Artist = Mark Ronson,
Artist = Mark Ronson; Bruno Mars or just Bruno Mars,
Display Artist = Mark Ronson (Featuring Bruno Mars) ?

Is the problem you are referring to that, it would create a huge "eye sore" chunk of "ft.(s)" in the tree?
The only thing I've ever thought of doing for terms that would create atypical flow is to put a "Z" in front of them (Z ft. xxx) so they would all be together at the end and not
cause a split in the alphabet higher up.
Someone please let me know if I'm way off.
Sounds like something I've been interested in myself for a long time.
