Thanks, all. Sadly, this is one of those nice-to-have features that I really want. I suppose I can live without it, though.

Oh, I see! In other words, I can pre-shuffle (sort the entire playlist) and then play. I'll give that a try. Do you know if I can re-sort back to the original order?

Ugh. This is the one feature I really want. I moved from Rocket Player because, although I like its UI and how it operates (and it does have shuffle by album), it's now crashing constantly. I've seen Poweramp recommended in so many places I decided to try it, but this is something really bothering me. In theory, I think Poweramp should be able to look at either the metadata or sort at least by the folder name. Anyway, thanks for letting me know.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to shuffle albums in a playlist. Say I have 4 albums in a playlist. For simplicity's sake, say each one has 10 songs. I want to be able to shuffle the playlist so it plays album X, from song 1 to song 10 in order. Then it plays some other album in my playlist, from song 1 to song 10 in order. And so on. I've tried setting the global shuffle setting to Shuffle Songs/Categories, Shuffle Categories, and Shuffle Songs but nothing seems to work. I just want an option within a playlist where I can choose "Shuffle songs in list" or "Shuffle albums in list" or "Play all in order". Is there any way to do that? Thanks in advance for any help!
