iTunes/Music prints by album name instead of artist

When I go to print my library it SAYS it is going to sort by artist but it sorts by album name. OTOH, if I print a playlist it does sort by artist.


Is there an option to print either sorted by either?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

Hello rbpeirce,


The available sorting options will be displayed in Music when you select File > Print.


If you don't see the sorting option that you'd like, then you're welcome to submit feedback to Apple using the following link: Product Feedback - Apple. Submitting feedback will ensure your voice is heard by the appropriate teams.


If the sorting rules that you're selecting isn't being followed, then ensure macOS is updated, as this will apply updates to the Music app, which may clear up the behavior: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support


Use Software Update
Before following these steps, it's a good idea to back up your Mac.

1. From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose System Settings or System Preferences.
• If you chose System Settings, click General on the left side of the window. Then click Software Update on the right.
• If you chose System Preferences, click Software Update in the window.

2. Software Update then checks for new software. 
• If Software Update finds new software, click the button to install it. The button might be named Update Now, Upgrade Now, Install Now, or Restart Now, for example. You might then be asked to enter your administrator password.
• If Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, then no new software is currently available for your Mac model. Software Update shows only software that is compatible with your Mac.


If the issue continues, then see if the issue persists when using a different library with Music to isolate the behavior. See those steps here: Use multiple libraries in Music on Mac - Apple Support


1. In the Music app  on your Mac, choose Music > Quit Music.
2. Hold down the Option key while you reopen Music.
3. In the window that appears, do one of the following:
• Create a new library: Click Create Library.
• Choose a different library: Click Choose Library.


Kind regards.
