IOS8 iPad Music App songs list sorted by artist is gone
I have two iPads, and have gone through iOS 6, 7, and now 8 with them. My songs list in the music app has always been sorted by artist, but after the iOS8 "upgrade" the songs list is sorted by song title.
Is there a way to get this sorting back? I seem to recall this being a setting within the app itself in iOS 6, and in iOS 7 I recall people complaining about the exact opposite - that the list was sorted by artist instead of song title.
And not to be snarky, but creating playlists to create custom sorting is not much of a solution, any more than saying backup and restore is a "fix" as so often gets thrown around on these forums. I think like many users that recall that these iDevices started as music players that the current effort Apple has been putting in the music app is pretty awful. I download from Match and would prefer not to have to use the music app's terrible playlist editing to add downloaded songs.
