Allow sorting of Albums by Artist

Description

As a desktop VLC fan, I'm finding VLC Android a great alternative to Rocket Player etc. for listening to music -- thanks for all your work on it!

One thing I miss is being able to see all my albums organised by artist. Unfortunately, the only sorting options in the "Albums" audio view are "Name", "Length" and "Date".

Expected behavior

"Sort by..." includes "Artist", and selecting it sorts albums primarily by album artist name. (My personal preference would be that albums would then be secondarily sorted by date, so that music is in catalogue order.)

It looks like some of the plumbing may be in place to support this easily, but it's non-trivial to get set up for building and testing changes locally, otherwise I'd be submitting a pull request instead.
