So this:

1-01. artist - track title
1-02. artist - track title
etc.

rather than this:

01. artist - 1-01 track title
02. artist - 1-02 track title
etc.

It looks like KODI is displaying:

Code:

<tracknumber>. <artist> - <title>

I asked a similar question to simoncn previously, but unfortunately:

As you have discovered, MinimServer does not allow track numbers to be modified using value.display or displayFormat.

I guess you may be able to change the trackNumber (for the affected albums) in the tags (or via tagUpdate) to 0101, 0102, 0201, 0202... - although that's obviously not a nice "solution"!

Control points should display the items in the order they're sent, unfortunately some don't and there's nothing that the server can do to influence it (unless they're sorting by a tag that you can change with displayFormat).

Sorry for the very late reply, many thanks for the info!
