Sorting albums chronologically is something that I'm glad to see make its way to iOS 7 (although I think there should be a toggle for those who sort alphabetically), but the error that I've found with how Apple has implemented chronological sorting is that it screws up sorting with compilation albums. When trying to sort compilation albums, the Music app will choose the year based on the oldest song from the album.
For instance, take The Beatles. Their first album is "Please, Please Me" from 1963. But when I tap on The Beatles in the Music app, the first album I see is "Anthology 1", a compilation album released in 1995. The reason this appears first is because there's a song on there that was recorded in 1961, and since this is the oldest song from this album, the Music app thinks this was somehow released in 1961, therefore it appears first.
What I wish Apple would do is have a toggle for both chronological sort and alphabetical sorting, but with the ability to leave both off, which could then default to your sorting order per the sort tags in iTunes.
