Well, for instance Blacka sabbath is not where it should be in the alphabet under "Artists" it is under MVP?

Check the Album Artist field.  It probably has the value "MVP" in it.  Remove that.  Set the Artist for all the tracks to Black Sabbath.

Try editing the tags for the problem tracks.  Album, Artist, and Artist Album.

There´s nothing wrong with the tags they have worked okay in MC16,17,18.

So I removed the MVP field and draged and dropped Black sabbath on the artist again,just to find out the MVP is back and black sabbath in it..

Is the problem resolved?

I don't think anyone here has any idea what "MVP" is in your setup.  If you need more help, please show some screenshots, and provide as much detail as you can (there's not enough here to diagnose the issue).

I'm going to take a guess that maybe the library fields got out of sync with the tag fields.  That can happen if you edit the tags using a program like mp3tag and MC doesn't notice the change.

When that happens you can force MC to update the library info by selecting the affected files and selecting:
Tools >> Library Tools >> Update Library (from tags)

If the problem happens to be the other way around you can do:
Tools >> Library Tools >> Update Tags (from library)

Doing one of those actions will get the library back in sync with the tags (or the tags back in sync with the library).  You need to be aware of what is going on when you edit the tags using an external program.  The MC library database will likely be out of sync after a change like that.  So you'll need to do an "Update Library (from tags)" after that to get MC back in sync with the changes.
