Music app will not sort songs by Artist when manually managing music
Using 11.2.2, noticed that songs will not be sorted out by Artist / Album when managing music manually. Please advise. Thanks

Hey there, zax3303,
Thanks for answering those questions. From the information, I am understanding that on your iPhone, you are unable to choose the Artist and Album sort options for music you added to your iPhone manually in iTunes. The songs are not from Apple Music or the iTunes Store, and have been imported into iTunes from other sources. I'm happy to help!
I would suggest first opening the Music app on your iPhone, and tapping Library at the bottom left of the screen. You should see "Library" at the very top of the next screen, with several sort options below it. If Artist and Album are not options here, tap the "Edit" button in the upper right of the screen. This will bring up additional categories for you to sort with. Make sure Artist, Albums, and any other option you see has a pink circle with a white checkmark in it. Once you've chosen those options, hit "Done" in the upper right. This will bring you back to your Library home, and you should be able to choose those sort options.
This information, along with other information regarding the Music app, and iOS 11 as a whole, can be found here: Library - iPhone User Guide .
Cheers.
