Thanks vandermerwe, I don't think you are right that it is ordering on the filename - I thought my OP was clear that I had the track number as the beginning of the file name.
I'm now thinking it might be ordering alphabetically on the ID3 tag filename which doesn't have the track number on it.
Next thing to try is adding the track number to the ID3 tag filename - I haven't tried the tag tool you recommended, but I do have another one
Cheers
Schtevo.

Definitely a pain.
Remember to use 2 digits for the prepended track number (to ensure you get 01, 02, 03 and not 1, 10, 11). Tagscanner lets you set the number of digits, not sure about other tools. FWIW it can prepend to your existing title, it doesn't need to rebuild everything from the file name.

Cheers, I'm using a program called Tag&Rename
Already had the leading zeros in the filenames so one big batch change was all I needed.
To do 100GB took just less than the time it took to play the album I used to test ;-)
