So yes I found the 'DISC#' field contained strings " 1 / 2" etc.
Changing them to "1/2" etc (using tag&rename) resolved the problem.
Still I think it should go on the slim server bug list because it could
easily handle this and make it less of a problem for users.

Here is a screen shot of how my 2 CD Requiem now looks in the slim
server album list (notice the play order is all correct):

I see adamslim's comment below on multi cd sets. I think he is
suggesting using a program like tag and rename to rebuild all the track
information so that a 2 CD set looks like a one cd set with more tracks
and a long play time. 

Yes that's another way, and arguably simpler, although you loose the
disc and track information forever. Also would media player ever find
album art in the future? What about other media players (eg iPod or
Olive Opus), if they didn't have the multi disc option like slim server
then it would be better than what I have done above. Not sure... maybe
someone who has tried both can chime in...

Alternatively he might be suggesting rebuilding the classic CD or CD
set as one huge long track using some special program that inserts
pauses between tracks. I am not sure what program this would be, and
whilst I agree it's going to tidy up the browse by artists
functionality I think it's nicer to see individual tracks and
information on them. In the UK we have a radio station called Classic
FX and thery would certianly prefer their CD to remain split by track
because they generally pull out one track at a time so you three
minutes of Mozart's movement X from syphony Y, followed by three
minutes of Brahms' Y etc...

Thanks all for you help.
