I've just added some code to 6.5 to support alternative sorting orders
for the web Browse Artwork page.  I would be keen on people's feedback
on how well the different sort orders work with their library.

Using a simple skin [Default etc], the easy way to test it is to select
an alternative sort order in Server Settings - Interface - Browse By
Artwork Order.  This allows a subset of the possible options (the ones
I thought were most appropriate).

It is also possible to select the sort order by specifying the sort
parameter in the url used to load the page:
http://<server>:9000/browsedb.html?hierarchy=artwork,track&level=0&sort=year,artist,album

Displays artwork sorted by year, then artist, then album title.

In this case sort should take any of the keys defined for sortFieldMaps
defined in DataModels.pm.  These are:
'title', 'genre', 'album', 'artist', 'year', 'age'
'artist,album', 'artist,year,album', 'year,album',
'year,artist','year,artist,album', 'year,genre,album',
'year,genre,artist','year,genre,artist,album','genre,artist','genre,artist,album','genre,artist,year,album'

I've not sucessfully tested any of the genre based sort orders, so
would be definately interested in feedback on this.
