Is there a way to list the entire collection by artist sort name?
Yes, there is a way. Click menu Navigate > Entire Collection. This will display a full list of your albums. Now right-click the list and select "Columns". Put a check next to "Artist Sort" and remove a check from "Artist". Press OK button.

After that, drag-and-drop "Artist Sort" column header to the front and click on it to sort the list.

Also, about a year ago you told me in an e-mail that a future version of Orange CD may have the capability to obtain track names for vinyl albums. I have almost 2400 CDs and probably twice that many vinyl records. I would really like to enter those into the OCD program and have been waiting to hear that it's now possible. What is the staus on that? Should I use a different program to catalog my vinyl albums? I would rather prefer to use one program for my music collection. To catalog my vinyl albums would be a major task and I have, thus far, put it off.
I can suggest using FreeDB to extract track information for vinyl albums. (Click menu Album > Add from FreeDB). This will retrieve information about the CDs only, but since most vinyl recordings has been reissued, this can work pretty well. You need to search for the artist, then double-click the album in the list, and make sure the tracks are the same as on LP by switching to Tracks page of album properties.
If needed, there are edit buttons on top of the track list, that you can use to add/delete/rearrange tracks to get full match with LP. You will not need to type track names unless it is a really rare LP.
