nope. you can't sort nothing. if you sort nothing by artist field, it is still nothing, and if you sort nothing by title, it's still nothing. if you see -absolutely nothing-, you can't sort it. the problem was, the entirety of the mp3s were NOT showing at all. not a single song. nothing. it was there a day before, and then *bam*, gone, all gone, nothing at all showing up. because the new setting came up, "apple music", whatever that is, probably they want to become a new spotify or what not. unchecking the option to show that "apple music" thing did the trick, as it reverted back to the normal music library view
