Achieving the controllable anomalous valley Hall effect (AVHE) is crucial for valleytronics but remains challenging for bilayer altermagnetic systems. Here, bilayer Mg(FeN)2 is proposed as a stacking-dependent platform for a switchable AVHE. The AA stacking of bilayer Mg(FeN)2 exhibits altermagnetism due to the broken TP(t) symmetry, while the AB stacking is a conventional antiferromagnet protected by TP(t) symmetry. Interestingly, interlayer sliding between AA-1 and AA-2 configurations reverses the out-of-plane ferroelectric polarization and consequently switches the layer-dependent valley polarization. Reversing the magnetic configuration changes the spin occupation of valleys, leading to an opposite Hall voltage signal. Thus, a valleytronic device is constructed for the nonvolatile control of the AVHE. For AB-0 configuration, an external electric field can break layer equivalence and induce layer-dependent valley polarization. Switching the electric field direction or magnetic configuration enables the polarity reversal of the Hall response. This work provides a feasible route for electrically and magnetically controllable AVHE in altermagnets.
