I've created a function to sort the artists in three columns. And it seems to work fine, except one minor detail:

For some odd reason the first entry in each column loses its hover properties (no highlighting, no underlining and no pointer hand). The entries are actually still hyperlinks, it just doesn't show.

Until I've resolved this minor issue, I will not be releasing an update of the CMI_Play template at [url]http://ocd.juventas.net[/url]. But if anyone is interested in testing this preliminary version, let me know and I'll send you a copy.
