I really like Minimserver and prefer using folder view, which I have loaded with folder and artist artwork. The drawback is the fact that album track order is usually displayed in alphabetical rather than in track order. I know I can switch to Tag View but find it makes the experience less satisfying.

My control point is the Stream Magic app on an iPad. Sometimes it appears that the app starts to display the tracks in track order but then switches to alphabetical order. Some albums are displayed in track order even though the tag and name order are not identical and I don't think there is any difference in the way I have tagged these albums.

It is this inconsistency that makes me wonder if there is a way of getting all albums to display in track order rather than alphabetical order without using Tag View.

MinimServer sorts tracks in track number order in folder view, assuming that the track files contain valid TRACKNUMBER tags.

Some control points don't respect the sort order that MinimServer sends them but impose their own (alphabetical) sort order instead.
