Directives: sortartist

This directive defines the sort name for an artist.

The main purpose of the sortartist metadata is to provide a sort order for artists in the Table of Contents (ToC). If no sortartist is specified, the ToC will use the value of artist. So it is not necessary to specify sortartist if artist would already be sorted correctly.

If a song has multiple artists, there must be a sortartist for each artist, and in the same order.

Examples:

{sortartist: Beatles, The}
{meta: sortartist Cohen, Leonard}
