I just started to use the CustomBrowse Plugin (version 2.0beta13 for
SqueezeCenter 7.01) for my classical music. Most of if it works great
but I have the following problem.

I created a browse menu structure like

ALBUM -> GROUPING -> TITLE

where GROUPING comprises the name of the classical work and TITLE is
the name of the respective movement of the work. If the work is a
single movement piece than GROUPING and TITLE comprise identical
contents.

By default the entries in each browse level are sorted by the
respective tag. However, I want to keep the original sorting order of
the album which means that the sorting in the second level (GROUPING)
should not be by GROUPING but by TRACKNUMBER. With the default sorting,
when I press play at the album level the tracks of the album are played
alphabetically sorted by GROUPING which is not the original order of
the tracks as they are on the album.

I tried to use the field "level 2 sort tag name" in the definition of
the custom browse menu but sorting does not change when I input
TRACKNUMBER into this field as shown in the enclosed screen shot. I
also tried TRACK and TRACKNUM but nothing worked. Just for testing, I
set the field to ARTIST and then the sorting in the second level
(GROUPING) was changed to ARTIST. I then set the field to COMPOSER and
again the sorting was correctly changed in the second level to
COMPOSER.

So it seems that either I use the wrong tag name for TRACKNUMBER or
this tag cannot be used for sorting.

Erland, can you please help me and say what I'm doing wrong.

Further, when having a multi disc album and setting the option that
these should be shown as ONE album, sorting should even be
DISCNUMBER-TRACKNUMBER. Is that possible?

I switched to the "show multi disc albums as ONE album" option since in
the CustomBrowse menus the albums of a multi disc album are not
distinguished with (Disc 1), (Disc 2)... as they are in the standard
menus. This seems to be a bug in CustomBrowse.

Thanks a lot for your help and your great plugin.

Dieter
