ITunes 11 sort by within album functionality gone?

Question

Hello, I was wondering about an option that appears to be gone from 11, which I loved in 10. I have always made compilation albums(not a playlist mind you) that contain many songs from various artists. In iTunes 10, I used to be able to open my album and then sort by artist so that within that album all the artists and their songs would be bunched together. Example: I have an album of 60's-early 80's Soul/R&B. It contains many songs from many artists. I used to be able to open that album, sort by artist so say Al Green and all the songs I had from him in that album would show up at the top. Then, of course, everybody else in alphabetical order would follow with their songs. I hope this functionality has not been lost or if so, is there a way around it?

Answer 1

Thanks for the reply.  I was being somewhat sarcastic about my hope that Apple will make changes based on the feedback tool (like with Cover Flow most likely never returning to iTunes, especially with it changed so much in iOS 7), especially not for an issue as isolated as this one.
I forgot about the issue with multiple albums in a year as well, since there's no way to denote which came first, so unless they happen to be in alphabetical order they will appear out of order as well.  I know there's the "Release Date" column option, but AFAIK that is organic to iTunes alone, and does not stick with the ID3 tag of the track.  I've thought of your suggestion before, but guess I just needed a push to abandon the way I was doing it.
As far as editing the sort album values to utilize the dates, or album release orders, I'm aware of them, but with over 1000 albums in my library the time it would take would be rather forbidding.  Just have to keep hoping the small things won't go unnoticed forever!  (Really, if iTunes would pattern itself off the original MusicMatch Jukebox that used to be the standard for iPod syncing, we wouldn't have need of all this discussion!)
