Especially relevant in classical music, because we normally call composers by their last name.
Just add an option in the settings that changes the behaviour of the sorting, by considering first the last word, then the rest.

If this is not something other people want, I can also easily rename them to be "LastName, FirstName".

The thing is that there isn't first name and last name tags in ID3 but just letters on "Artist".

I see what's your point with the last word, but it can be extremely chaotic.

Examples :

  • Coumpound names : An artist called "Field of View", here the word view will be considered, which is a nonsense. Same for " Kool & The Gang" -> Gang.

  • Double artist in the same tag : I've many cases of that. e.g. Yoko Shimomura & ACE+. Here it'll be ACE+ only with that sorting method.

So yes if all of your library is composed of tracks with only First name + Last name tags, it'll be OK, but it isn't the case of a majority of people I think.
