RE: Track Ordering Issue with DiscSubtitle
The best way to validate MinimServer and its configuration is by checking the metadata that's sent to the control point.

Using a traditional UPnP control point (e.g. BubbleUPnP, mconnect)
  • Browse to your album listing
  • From MinimWatch open the log window, press Clear and change the logging level to Trace
  • In your control point select an album that contains disc subtitles
  • Set the Logging level back to Info (it's really important that you do this) and copy the contents of the log window to a text editor
  • Select the block of text starting with '<DIDL-Lite xmlns' and ending '</DIDL-Lite>' and paste it into https://jsonformatter.org/xml-formatter

You should see a disc subtitle (<upnp:class>object.container</upnp:class>) followed by tracks (<upnp:class>object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class>) repeated as many times as there are disc subtitles.

Here's an excerpt from the album 19 by Adele:
Code:
<DIDL-Lite>
    <container>
        <dc:title>&gt;&gt; 19</dc:title>
        <upnp:class>object.container</upnp:class>
    </container>
    <item>
        <dc:title>Daydreamer</dc:title>
        <upnp:originalTrackNumber>1</upnp:originalTrackNumber>
        <upnp:class>object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class>
    </item>
    <item>
        <dc:title>Best For Last</dc:title>
        <upnp:originalTrackNumber>2</upnp:originalTrackNumber>
        <upnp:class>object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class>
    </item>
    <container>
        <dc:title>&gt;&gt; Acoustic Set Live From The Hotel Cafe, Los Angeles</dc:title>
        <upnp:class>object.container</upnp:class>
    </container>
    <item>
        <dc:title>Chasing Pavements (Live)</dc:title>
        <upnp:originalTrackNumber>1</upnp:originalTrackNumber>
        <upnp:class>object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class>
    </item>
    <item>
        <dc:title>Melt My Heart To Stone (Live)</dc:title>
        <upnp:originalTrackNumber>2</upnp:originalTrackNumber>
        <upnp:class>object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class>
    </item>
</DIDL-Lite>

A traditional UPnP control point should display the objects in the order they're received from the server.
