I would never even think of alphabetizing by album name...makes no sense to me that multiple albums by the same artist would not be grouped together.

And I think this is the kind of thinking that got me to organize stuff the way I do...I wanted side project CDs to sit next to the bands they were an off-shoot of, and bands that otherwise shared members were often of the same genre, sometimes on the same label and I wanted those together, and so it developed into categorization by genre.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
