Have you tried using the sorting options?
They're a second field where you can specify how you want a file to be sorted.
Like, for instance, you can have "Ayumi Hamasaki" in the regular "Artist" field and have "Hamasaki Ayumi" in the "Sort Artist" field and the result will be "Ayumi Hamasaki" on the display but she'll be sorted alphabetically under H in iTunes because her sort field designates her as "Hamasaki Ayumi".
There's also a "Sort Album" field so you should be able to arrange your albums chronologically by adding the date before the album title.
I'm not sure if the sort fields carry over to an iPod, though, as I don't use them myself...
