IPhone – How to view iPhone music history

There could be a corruption in your music library that is preventing the 'sync' to finish.

1. On your iPhone, turn iTunes Match off, then open Settings > General > Usage > (wait for usage to populate) > Music > tap Edit and then the red remove icon.
2. Restart your phone
3. When your phone is back on, open Music to ensure its empty. If its not, complete the above again.
4. Turn iTunes Match back on and leave the Music app open. It should take no longer than 15 minutes for it to display something other than the cloud logo.

If the issue is still persists, try deleting your Music library using iExplorer

Note: Before using iExplorer, ensure you have a backup of your information

1. Download, open iExplorer, and plug in your iPhone
2. Select Media on the left, and then right click iTunes_Control and delete that folder
3. Restart your iPhone and turn iTunes Match back on and leave the Music app open. It should take no longer than 15 minutes for it to display something other than the cloud logo.

If the issue still persists I would recommend you do a complete restore through iTunes

The answer to this question is incredibly simple, and needs no elaboration other than enough to justify the size of the post and prevent Stack Exchange from automatically marking it as low quality or affecting it. That answer?

No, you can't. The All Songs section of an artist view, exactly like the all Songs category on iOS, is always by alphabetical title.
