Is it possible to sort export list first by artist, then by song title?  
It kind of works with two loops:

$loop(%artist%)  
$loop(%title%)

The text output us sorted as I wanted, but the shadow on odd numbered lienes doesn't work as "counter" only refers to the last loop (I guess)

Yes, 2 loops is the correct approach.  
Yet, I do not see any

in the loop.  
What are you referring to?
