           Summary: Sorting audio files by "Artist" sorts them by "Album
                    Artist" instead.

SUMMARY
When I have dolphin sort audio files by "Artist", it instead sorts them by
album artist.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put 3 audio files in an empty directory. Be sure to use files with 3
different artist names.
2. On the file that has the artist name that should sort in the middle, edit
the "Album Artist" tag to say "ZZZ" but leave the "Artist" tag alone. 
3. Tell dolphin to sort audio by artist.

OBSERVED RESULT
The edited file will sort first or last, depending on sort order.

EXPECTED RESULT
The edited file should sort to the middle.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Arch Linux
Linux/KDE Plasma: X11
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a huge problem because multiple artist albums (e.g. compilations, large
shows, soundtracks, etc) are often labeled as "Various Artists" in the "Album
Artist" field. If one wants to sort by "Album Artist" instead, that should be
an appropriately named additional option. Also, in English, sorting ascending
order should be A-Z and descending order should be Z-A. Artist sorting order is
backwards.
