Surely your remote does precisely that, unless I've misunderstood you?

If it helps,where I have a whole album, as opposed to a few tracks on a "selection" album with tracks by various artists, I've put the artist name in caps, to make it easier to find, when scrolling down the artist list.

I've also refined the selection on the receiver database which serves the kitchen, down to two files: 1. Music that both my wife and I enjoy, 2. Music that only my wife enjoys, rather than trying to load the whole library.

The main library is available on the computer screens, where it is more easily selectable - for instance, I like Rod Stewart and have all the earlier albums, my wife has a pathological hatred of the man, so it doesn't occur on the receiver database.
