On my iPad 3rd Gen, after the 8.0 update, the "Group By Album Artist" check box in the Settings no longer works. It used to group the albums in the Music app by the associated Artist, but now it just alphabetizes them regardless of the artist.I've tried:1) Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings2) Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content and Settings3) Manually deleting all music content, resetting iPad, reimporting music to iPad4) Each of the above, but allowing a full day between powering down and then back up.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, because I'd really rather not switch to a nonstandard app for this.

Music app won't sort albums by artist

On my iPad 3rd Gen, after the 8.0 update, the "Group By Album Artist" check box in the Settings no longer works. It used to group the albums in the Music app by the associated Artist, but now it just alphabetizes them regardless of the artist.

I've tried:

1) Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

2) Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content and Settings

3) Manually deleting all music content, resetting iPad, reimporting music to iPad

4) Each of the above, but allowing a full day between powering down and then back up.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, because I'd really rather not switch to a nonstandard app for this.
