Album Compilation

I have albums that I have marked as compilations using the property 'Album is a compilation of songs by various artists' but it does not show under the 'Compilations' section. I have tried to toggle the option and apply, remove the album from my library after applying then re-adding, etc. I do not know how to resolve this issue.

I found what I believe is a resolution to my own question. The discussion Compilations/Various Artists Problem helped to give me a different perspective on the problem. To explain my own understanding, Compilations tend to (from what I've seen) only organize themselves under the 'Compilations' category when they have more than one song in the album. One user in the discussion seemed to suggest that all tracks needed a 'track artist' listed in order for the album to be correctly categorized.
