Is there some way to sort remixed versions of songs in iTunes under the remix artist's name?
As an example, Adventure Club has made a lot of songs that are remixes. For now, all these songs appear under the original artist's name with "(Adventure Club remix)" after the song name. However, I would like for all the songs by Adventure Club (remix or not) to appear under the artist, Adventure Club.
I do know of one way to make this work:
I can put the remix artist as the "Album Artist". This way the original artist's name is preserved, but the remix will sort under the remix artist's name. However, (and maybe I'm just being way too picky here) there are some cases where either (1) the song actually appears on an album by the original artist or (2) the song does not actually appear on an album at all. In these cases, putting the remix artist as "Album Artist" is inaccurate.
Thus, is there any other way to sort remixed versions of songs in iTunes under the remix artist's name?

How about creating a Smart Playlist (File->New->Smart Playlist...)?
You might set it up to Match Any, with a couple of rules: 1) Artist/contains/"Adventure Club" and 2) Album Artist/contains/"Adventure Club". (Without the quotes.)
