    Thanks for joining Apple Support Communities, palowootten.

    As I understand, your music on your iPhone is only sorting by artist, but you'd like to have your music sorted by title. I like that sort as well since it mixes things up a bit for me, and I'll be glad to show you where that setting is.

    On your phone tap Settings > Music > Sort Songs & Albums > and tap "By Title"

     

    Have a great day!

    you saved my life!!  I sing a lot in the community with acc tracks and I have over 5,000 songs on my iPad/iPhone and trying to search for individual songs when not in alpha order was a disaster .....

    I sing too and I had to learn that sort feature early on. Glad I could help and have a great weekend!
