[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1558900"] Here's the thing about iTunes: the Library sorts them by what it knows. If the track numbers are present in the tags for the files, then internally, iTunes is sorting them correctly. But iTunes shows you whatever it is you tell it you *want* it to show you in terms of sort order. That doesn't mean the files are actually unsorted, it means you selected "time" or "name" as the default sort VIEW (ie the way the information is presented to you). Setting track number as the default view should show you the songs in album order, *provided* the track number is listed in the tags for the songs. If it's not, iTunes will always "fall back" to alphabetical order. [/QUOTE]
