Artist not sorting properly - Seems to be caused by ALBUMSORT tags

[bryanparadis]

I edited one of the Vitalism track's ALBUMSORT tags and changed it to "0testing" to see if I could get it to appear at the top of the Artist list and it did.

Could not reproduce with a MP3 by adding albumsort to the tag and rescanning library. Seems to do with MP4/M4A and albumsort specifically. I had a look through the source for TSOA/soal/albumsort/artistsort but couldn't find any smoking gun. Removing the albumsort field from the mp4 tag fixes the issue.

Saw that you were using androidx.media3.exoplayer.MetadataRetriever so I thought I would take a quick look at the Android source and found someting interesting. Those seem all rather mixed up. It's 2am but I rechecked a few times.

Opened an issue over there:

androidx/media#1302

Huh, I thought this would be another "I don't realize I have sort tags" issue, but instead it's a legit media3 bug. For now I can patch this myself easily since I vendor media3. Can I have a sample file @bryanparadis? Just e-mail me one w/no copyrighted audio.

Glad I could surprise you! Haha. Funnily enough finding bugs in third parties is kind of my thing.

Sent a couple your way

@OxygenCobalt A fix commit already upstream!

Okay, I'll cherry-pick it when I get the chance @bryanparadis. Thanks for reporting this!
