It seems like there is problems popping up with people viewing their Album sorted by artists. I don't think I have the exact same problem, but I say: yes there is something faulty with the way the Albums in "My Music" are sorted now
Yeah... So mine is screwed up with every letter now too. THIS SUCKS! T_T
Just realised now that even albums by the same artist aren't grouped together, so the alpa sort is broken for me entirely, frustrating!
Because of this utterly confusing set of album changes, I've just activated my 3 month free trial of Apple Music. Spotify shouldn't worry about this yet. Unless they do something about this screw up within the next 3 months, I'm going to really consider going full time with Apple Music.
The album sorting on my iPod Touch, where what comes after "Plumb" is "Paramore".... fix it!!
Why do I get the funny feeling this isn't Spotify's fault, but it's a subtle threat from Apple?
It's as through Apple Inc., through tampering with the app via updates and mucking up the Album order, is subtly suggesting that Spotify is only successful because of Apple, and that at any moment they could screw Spotify over and knock them off the App Store in just a snap.
Reason for this is because
If it really is a case of Apple backdoor blackmail, then that's a bad apple to them.
Ok so after contacting them on Twitter, with no success. I decided to send them an email about this. Here is there response.

This obviously shows that it was intentional, god knows why because it's a massive step backwards in my opinion. I've actually sent them an email back explaining why, and advised them that Apple Music actually do it the way Spotify used to, and it works. It's great.
Lets hope they seriously look at this and bring it back in. I mean why change something so good to something that now makes the Album menu, redundant??
I suggest you all send an email to Spotify asking why it has changed. The more people that get in touch the more they will listen and put the Album menu back as it was.

Wow... how could a human being take a look at the changes they've made and just be like "Yup, we should definitely take the time to code this and put the changes out in an update". Absolutely ridiculous. I've sent a message to the spotify support, and hope anyone else having this issue will too. Only a large amount of e-mails will change their mind on this I think.
Spotify replied to my bug report by saying they would fix the problem. Well, here's 3.5, and the problem is still there. And no, it's not a feature. How hard is it to sort by letter? I really don't want to switch to Apple Music, but if this continues, I will have to.
I take it no one has heard anything from Spotify on this yet?
Problem has been fixed
To everyone who is having this problem, Spotify has released v3.6 for the iOS App. Even though the main release note says "Minor Improvements" it fixes the Album Sorting issue that most of us have been experiencing.
For the most part, the albums are listed according to their artist's alphabetical order, then to their own alphabetical order.
Problem better, but not fixed. 1) All artists whose names begin with "The" are grouped together; 2) still sorting errors, for example, see below, which lists "The Sugar Stems," "Temples," then "Thee Oh Sees." 3) My elementary school teach taught me to sort last name, first name; not first name, last name. Spotify should be embarressed.
