Answer 1

Huh. It works OK for me. Maybe the iTunes > Help > sort directions explain it better:
+*Sorting items in your library or a playlist*+
+You can sort the items in your library or a playlist by any of the displayed columns. For example, you could group items in your library that match a particular characteristic (for example, songs in the Rock genre or songs that were saved as AAC).+
+You can also enter customized sorting criteria for items. For example, you could set up iTunes to sort songs by an artist's last name instead of the first.+
+Here are ways to sort songs in your library or playlist:+
+To sort the list by a column, click the column heading. For example, if you want to sort the list by album title, click the Album heading.+
+Tip: If you don't see the column heading you're looking for, right-click a column heading to see a list of columns you can view. Select an item (so that it has a checkmark next to it) to make it visible or deselect an item to remove it.+
+To reverse the sort order, click the triangle that appears when the column is selected.+
+To return to the previous order of songs in a playlist, click the leftmost column heading (above the numbers) that shows the play order.+
+To customize sorting criteria, choose an item or items, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the text you want to sort by+.
+You can also scan through all the artists or albums in your music library by selecting an item below Library and clicking the Browse button (it looks like an eye). If you don't see the Artist and Album panes, click Browse again.+
