In addition to the "usual" set of tags, I've found two more tags
especially useful: ARTISTSORT and ALBUMSORT. If you don't have these
tags, then SqueezeCenter will sort your artists and albums according to
the ARTIST and ALBUM tags, which may or may not be what you want.

For example, consider Jimi Hendrix. Suppose you want to see his name
displayed as "Jimi Hendrix", but would prefer to have him sorted along
with the H's rather than J's - then by setting an ARTISTSORT tag of
"Hendrix, Jimi", you get that result.

ALBUMSORT is probably only for sad gits like me who want to have an
artist's albums within an artist sorted in chronological rather than
alphabetical order. I set ALBUMSORT to be ARTISTSORT + the year of
release. If they made more than one album in a single year, append a
letter accordingly. For example, the ALBUMSORT tags for Sgt Pepper and
Magical Mystery Tour are "Beatles 1967A" and "Beatles 1967B". Some
people who are even sadder than me use the full release date (eg.
"Beatles 1967-06-01" and "Beatles 1967-11-27").
