Basic error in numerical sorting of album names

I then restarted MinimServer but the result was unchanged from the previous listing on my controller display, so evidently there is no album sort tag set in my iTunes library (I have certainly not knowingly edited the albums for this). I'm not yet prepared to go to step 4 of your process and change the album tags for hundreds of album names containing numbers greater than 9, where this is a differentiator. I'd prefer a blanket sorting solution as described above (personally I feel this should be the default with pure alphabetical character sorting as an option).

I don't know how you have coded MinimServer but the sorting performance should not be degraded significantly by the addition of a single logical instruction to catch numeric characters.

Step 4 involved adding a single item to a property, not changing hundreds of tags. I'm wondering if we are both looking at the same list of steps.

I'm not sure how you are getting a different sort order in iTunes from the alphabetical sort order that I am seeing. I am using iTunes on Windows. Could this make a difference?
