Allow artist grouping into folders (ex. ABC, DEF, etc.)

NO

Description

Allows artist sorting into groups of three alphanumeric characters (0-9, ABC, DEF, GHI, JKL, MNO, PQR, STU, VWX, YZ) when the artist name starts with any of these characters (omitting The). In case of non-Latin characters for example, it will work just like the existing FirstCharacter format.

In case we decide to merge this, you need to update NamingModal.js as well.

The integration tests on Native FreeBSD are failing, but it doesn't seem related to my changes, can you confirm this?

It's unrelated, that agent is finicky at times.

I'm not opposed to this, but what's the benefit over just using FirstChar? Is 27 folders really too many?

I guess it’s not that big of a difference, but to give my personal example, when browsing the root folder in my car, I want it to be somewhat grouped, not having to scroll too much while I’m driving. You can find the folder you’re looking for relatively easy.

I can understand if this change isn’t useful enough to be included, as it’s just the way I always do it myself, I just thought maybe someone else would be looking for something like this as well, because it also matches a strong organising feature in my favourite media manager program, MediaMonkey (am I allowed to say that here? 😅)
