Thanks for clearing that up!

I wrote a detailed description of the problem back in
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50029

Since then I've created a very small test-case music library with
several compilation and non-compilation albums and think I am narrowing
down where and how the problem happens. Here's what I've learned:

1. The symptom happens on 7.0 and 7.1 (I had originally though it was
only after upgrade to 7.1)

2. When I browse my library by Artist, I see a single entry "Various
Artists" in the listing, (as expected - I have "Group compilation
albums together" set). Clicking on "Various Artists" displays all the
compilation albums, again, as expected. Clicking on a compilation album
in this view plays that album, with all the tracks in natural order.
This is completely how I'd expect things to work, and it works OK for
multi-disc compilation albums too.

3. When I browse my library by Album, I see all my albums displayed -
compilation and non-compilation. If I click on a non-compilation album
in this view, it plays with all the tracks in correct order. But if I
click on a compilation album, this is where the problem happens. The
tracks are cued for playback sorted by artist name, not track number.

Here is a concrete example to try to make it clearer. I have a
compilation album named "100% Acid Jazz" with 20 tracks each by a
different artist. If I navigate Artists -> Various Artists -> 100% Acid
Jazz -> [play], the tracks play in correct order: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. If I
navigate Albums -> 100% Acid Jazz -> [play], the tracks play in this
order: 1, 17, 11, 19, 14, 3, 6, 8, etc. This weird order is in fact
what you get if you sort the tracks by artist name. I don't know why
this behaviour happens or how I can disable it.

I have double-checked the tags in the FLAC files are correct,
especially that the ALBUM name is the same in every file, and the
TRACKNUMBER tags are correct. I am not using the COMPILATION tag (I
tried it but it didn't fix the problem).
