Thanks for the data @Uatschitchun , amazing what I can determine by poking about in it.
A lot of artists have what are clearly completely the wrong sort names, hence the odd sorting you see. The big question is how did that happen?
So let the detective work begin....
I can see from the data that you have not used any scrapers, so what it has is determined solely from music file tags (assuming that you have not done updates to the artists using JSON API, which is very unlikely).
When tagging with Picard did you use any additional scripts or plugins?
Picking just one example, Album Artist "Klaus Lage" has sort name = "Engelien, Martin", and artist "Martin Engelien" has sortname = "Lage, Klaus", so values swapped. Martin Engelien is only composer of two songs on an album by "Klaus Lage Band", but Klaus Lage is also a composer of those songs. Perhaps a smoking gun? Can you PM me a link to your music files from "Mit meinen Augen" tracks 2 and 5 so I can try scanning them myself.
Meanwhile I will continue to dig and see if I can see any other patterns. Maybe Kodi heard that you called her a "little diva" ;-)
