Compilation Setting Option on IPod

I've been using the compilation option on the IPod setting menu for a long time, since this has enabled me to toggle between either a complete view of all artists including those who are part of a compilation, or to a limited view that does not include "compilation" artists. Sometime recently (not sure when), that setting option has disappeared on my IPod. I don't think I did anything to remove that option. Does anyone know how to get that back? Perhaps that feature was removed with a recent IPod software upgrade, but I can't understand why such a useful feature would be eliminated.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
