iOS 18 Groupings no longer show in Music app

For the past few versions of iOS, tracks with Groupings data would show up in the album track view in the Music app.

This has been helpful with my library of music with hundreds of albums of classical music where groupings are where the overall work of a multi-part piece would show.

A while back, Apple also added the Work/Movement metadata, a newer option to view these.

This latter option still works in iOS 18, but suddenly Groupings no longer show. As my library is literally thousands of tracks using Groupings as the work name, I do not have the time to manually adjust this for every track to the Work/Movement option.

I want Groupings to show like it used to.

Not just the Grouping tag, but also the Composer tag. Even when I've tagged it to show Composer everywhere.

It would be nice to have this fixed in 18.1, if not sooner. There have been other problems in displaying classical music in the Apple Music Library over the years, and I'd like to not have to worry about this sort of stuff any more.
