I am using Custom Browse and Custom Scan, with the Classical menus which
include tags Work and Movement.

My standard Title Format is "Composer - Artist - Title".  This has
worked for everything in the past, but for some reason is giving me
problems with a few Albums.  I changed it to exclude Artist, but this
didn't change anything.

I have an album (xyz) consisting of 2 discs, numbered 1 & 2.  The Album
name dutifully shows up as xyz (Disc 1) and xyz (Disc 2).  I have very
carefully double-checked that the Album Name for both discs is exactly
the same.

When I select the main Work on this album by Composer, I get to a list
of 'songs' that are in the wrong order, with those on Disc 2 first.  On
the web interface I have the choice of sorting by Title instead of Album
(in the drop-down at the top of the ClassicCB display), and that works
(since my tracks are numbered in the TITLE).  However, it's a pain to
have to use this each time - can it be defaulted?

On the Touch I cannot use this work-around (there's no obvious way to
change the sort order).  I thought I could fix this by including the
DISC and TRACKNUM in the Title Format.  I did this, but something
strange happened.  DISC is always missing for DISC 1, even though it is
in the Tag on my FLACs, and the end result was still wrong.

Now I know I could put 'Title' first, but I wanted Composer and Artist
first on the Touch because on anything but very short-named tracks I
can't see them on the Touch list of songs (they would be too far to the
right).

To summarise, my questions are:

- Why is DISC blank when DISC is 1?
- Why, when the Album has (Disc 1) and (Disc 2) appended to it, doesn't
the sort order show Disc 1 first when sorting by Album on the Web
interface?  What possible reasons are there that that I could have
missed?
- Can I default the web interface to sort 'songs' by title, rather than
Album?
- Can I default the Touch interface  to sort 'songs' by title, rather
than Album?
