Foobar android does a good job sorting the albums based on album names DEPENDING ON HOW BIG THE LIBRARY is.  
When you go beyond a certain amount of tracks, (don't know what the limit is) unfortunately foobar fails to sort them out.  
At this point this is a player issue, not mp3tag issue...  
I guess for large libraries your previous suggestions (adding albumartist etc) will be necessary.  
There is a reference to issues due to large libraries at this site. Scroll down to "verdict" section at the bottom of page:
