Sorry, I should have explained better.

Once you have a selection sorted how you like in Media Monkey Windows, make a Playlist then synchronise that Playlist with the Android Device.

Do not be concerned too much about the extra data - it is very small for each Playlist AND if the particular tracks are already synchronise (for example in an Album Artist / Album Playlist) your new Playlist will not duplicate the audio files.

One way to get more sorting options is the use the add-on Custom Nodes as this allows you to define your own queries and sorts.

Consider, for example:
1). 40 Newest Albums by Added Date / SELECT * FROM Albums WHERE ID IN (SELECT IDAlbum FROM Songs GROUP BY IDAlbum HAVING Count(TrackNumber) > 3 ORDER BY Max(DateAdded) DESC LIMIT 40)

2). 40 Newest Albums by Released Date / SELECT * FROM Albums WHERE ID IN (SELECT IDAlbum FROM Songs WHERE Year > 0 GROUP BY IDAlbum HAVING Count(TrackNumber) > 3 ORDER BY Max(Year) DESC LIMIT 40)

3). 50 Most Played Albums / SELECT * FROM Albums WHERE ID IN (SELECT IDAlbum FROM Songs WHERE PlayCounter > 0 GROUP BY IDAlbum ORDER BY SUM(PlayCounter) DESC LIMIT 50)

4). Rolling 10 Years by Released Date / SELECT * FROM Albums WHERE ID IN (SELECT DISTINCT IDAlbum FROM Songs WHERE CAST(substr(Year, 1, 4) AS INTEGER) BETWEEN (CAST(strftime('%Y', 'now') AS INTEGER) - 9) AND CAST(strftime('%Y', 'now') AS INTEGER))

5). Album Artist with more than ?? Albums / SELECT * FROM Albums WHERE Artist NOT IN ('Various', 'Various Artists', 'Compilations', 'Unknown') AND Artist IS NOT NULL AND Artist <> '' AND ( /* Threshold Filter: Only artists with more than 75 albums */ SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Albums AS Sub WHERE Sub.Artist = Albums.Artist ) > 75 ORDER BY ( /* Sort Logic: Most prolific artists first */ SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Albums AS Sub WHERE Sub.Artist = Albums.Artist ) DESC, Artist ASC, Album ASC;

Please can we have an option to Sort Albums by Date when looking at them via Album Artist

Also please make Album Artist the Actual album Artist because I have numerous Albums that the Album Artist is the Actual Artist but for the Contributing Artist is the Artist & Mixtape DJ but under Album Artist it makes another entry which is the Contributing Artist.
