Album and Playlist songs forced to be in alphabetical order?

    Album and Playlist songs forced to be in alphabetical order?

    All of the items in the MediaLibrary collections are sorted alphabetically by name. For Artists/Albums/Genres, that's fine, but for songs on an album, it doesn't make sense. For songs in a carefully arranged playlist, it's a complete deal breaker.

    For albums, I guess I can grab the data out of the collection and manually sort it by track number, but then I lose the use of the SongCollection for MoveNext() / MovePrevious(). With playlists, there isn't even that option.

    It doesn't seem like an inherent limitation on the Xbox, since the built-in media player does things correctly - ordering album songs by track number, and playlists by the order the songs are on the media server.

    Am I just missing something?

    I'll take silence as an indication that this is just the way things are, and I'm currently out of luck :-)
