Weird enough, I tried what you suggested, I found a first misplaced album, just opened PROPERTIES and re-entered Album Artist from the scrolling list, and click OK.
Then the whole library was magically sorted correctly, exactly as if I just click on the header on Album Artist column. But then, when closing+relaunching MM, that sort was (again) lost, BUT that particular album was now in the right order, so this procedure was remembered for that manually edited album. Of course this is not a solution since hundreds of albums are misplaced, but I just tried some others to see if this was a recurrent behaviour and NO, I couldn't always reproduce this!!!
This works "sometimes" ie: I 've tried this for a dozen albums and , even if the "whole-library-sorting" happens every time I edit an album, when relaunching everything is lost, even that particular album's correct sorting. But for some other albums it works as described on the first one. Really weird.
For instance there are 2 albums by Antonio Carlos and one by Arctic Monkeys Jobim that are systematically placed at the end of the "A" right below Aziza Mustafa. There's nothing I can do to make MM remember the right placement for those, while other albums by those artists are sorted corretly and remembered.
I found other post related with this Sort or "Sort forgot" problems, some are reported as fixed (like 1367: MM forgets sort column in Art with Details [#7691]) but this particularly issue seems to be unsolved.
Thanks again
