Sort playlist by artist but include that artists albums with collaborations

I've got a large playlist that I sorted by artist using Spotify's sort function when viewing a playlist. The problem is, this ignores what artist released an album and only considers which artist is listed when you're listening to it.

So in the Tritonal screenshot below, Tritonal released an album called Tritonia - Chapter 002, which was mixed by them. It contains tracks where they are listed as the artist and tracks that others are listed as the artist in it.

When I sort by artist, this album gets interspersed throughout the playlist and so my playlist is filled with all these artists I've never heard of before because as far as I know this album is "by Tritonal". To further confuse things, if you go to the artist's page this album isn't even listed on it because they didn't release the album.

I contacted Spotify support via Chat and they advised me that it is up to the record label to list an artist that releases an album as an artist on the album. So, the best thing I can do is manually sort my playlist grouping all the songs on an album together.
