iTunes 12.5.4 shuffle issue

Updated to iTunes 12.5.4 for a large classical library (more than 41,000 individual tracks and nearly 5,000 groupings). I prefer to listen to multi-movement classical works in whole by work, usually not by album. Immediately following update, "shuffle by grouping" fails to recognize all but a tiny few designated groupings. Those it does recognize seem to be by virtue of being included in the last playlist I accessed before update. Using "get info" to reenter groupings doesn't seem to help. Is there a fix?

Thanks for the link. I need the installs for Mac though. If you know where to grab the Mac 12.5.3 post it. 12.5.1 is working fine right now.

Thanks. When I get some time I will attempt to use link to roll to 12.5.3.

Can't believe 12.5.4 is such a mess for basic feature functionality.

I did so as soon as I figured out what the issue was and before even posting here.

Retraction. This appears to have been wishful thinking.
