Bug Description

When I add a group of files (with the tracknumber in the IDtag and the filename correctly set), the player adds the files in the alphabetical order of the artist.
I would like to have a program that would sort the file first by IDtag's tracknumber and then by filename.

This bug is very close to the #387111 but I think that the problem is even worse since in this other bug report the sorting by tracknumber seems to be working and it is not the case for my bug report.

Exaile 3.0.0 and Ubuntu 9.04.

I would rather make this a configurable feature, not just something limited to track/artist.

Better yet, it should follow the sort order of the playlist as it already exists - if the playlist has been sorted by tracknumber (by clicking the column header) then anything added to that playlist should be sorted in that order as well on insert. Then we can just define a default sort order for playlists.

Confirming this issue as well.

I like Rob's idea of using the current sort order for any newly appended albums--although I have no idea how easy that would be to code.

I'd like to suggest that the default sort order for a new playlist be
  1) disc number and track number (if the discnumber tag is present)
  2) track number
  3) filename (last resort for improperly tagged files)

Just checked out trunk, still happens to me. Sort order is still by artist even if I change the playlist sort order manually.

Rob, can you give me an example of a set of tracks that doesn't sort how you think it should? List the tracknumber/title/artist/album tags please.

That's added from the collection into a blank playlist.
