iTunes 10 Grid View won't sort properly

[bigwig]

In either of the list views, selecting "Album by Artist/Year" works as you'd expect, for example:

Artist         Album                  Year
Badlands      Badlands                1989
Badlands      Voodoo Highway          1991
Badlands      Dusk                     2000

but when I select Grid View, even though "Album by Artist/Year" is also selected, these albums are sorted "Badlands/Dusk/Voodoo Highway" i.e. by Album, ignoring the year. How can I get iTunes to honor my sorting preference?

iTunes uses 4 fields to determine sorting/grouping of albums:

• Album
• Album Artist
• Sort Album
• Sort Album Artist

As long as there is matching information for those fields in all tracks, albums should sort properly. For years, make sure all tracks of the album have the same value in the Year tag.
