iTunes is stupid with compilation albums.

You need to get rid of one the 'Artist' tags in the files as it sorts by this as well as the main 'Artist'.

So if you have 'Clubland' by 'Various Artist' but then each track has the actual artist name as 'Contributory Artist' (I think), then iTunes splits them out seperately.

All other programs like Windows Media Player, WinAmp etc, are a bit more sensible in Album view and ignore some of the information so that the album shows up as one
