Version

0.54.4-SNAPSHOT (pr-2709/b4fd8d52)

Current Behavior

As promised (elsewhere), I'm writing my own Navidrome client / player. It's working great (Navidrome is super-fast). However, now that I'm talking directly to the server, I've found a little problem: when calling getAlbumList2 (or getAlbumList) using alphabeticalByName, in the album array that is returned, every album has an empty sortName (i.e. "").

This is in spite of the fact that every album has a sortName, and that the album list that is returned is in fact sorted by that sortName. I know this because when you call getAlbum, the returned albumdoes provide its sortName correctly (and so do all the songs). So clearly the database does have this information, but it is just failing to return it on the getAlbumList[2] call.

Expected Behavior

When we do a getAlbumList2, the sortName value should be the actual sortName value, and not an empty string.

Steps To Reproduce

Do a getAlbumList2.view request with type equal to alphabeticalByName and look at the album array in the response. All the sortName values are empty strings.

Environment

- OS: Navidrome is running on MacOS High Sierra; client is running on iOS 18.4
- Browser: None
- Client: I'm calling it "Dromio" :)
