track order with double albums

[Stormwatch]

When playing and album with 2 or more discs each track from both discs etc is listed one after the other so I get both track 1's then track 2's etc is there any simple way to get the tracks to play in the correct order., as I have removed rockbox from my 5.5g ipod because of this very annoying problem.

You could put each disc of the set in a different folder.  For example:

Pink Floyd, The Wall (disc 1)
Pink Floyd, The Wall (disc 2)

Alternately, (assuming you are using the file browser) you could name your files to include the disc number as well as the track number:

1-01 In the Flesh.mp3

Fixed it, just renamed tracks on second disc etc sequentially so instead of disc 1 track 1-10 and disc 2 track 1-10 I have tracks 1-20 simple and not a big deal. Thanks for your suggestion.

I do more like Febs suggested:

1-01 Track1.mp3
1-02 Track2.mp3
 . . .

1-09 Track9.mp3
1-10 Track10.mp3
2-01 Track1'.mp3
2-02 Track2'.mp3
 . . .
2-10 Track10'.mp3

Then it's easy to see which disk each track belongs to.

I used to do;
1-01 Track1.ogg
1-02 Track2.ogg
...
2-01 Track1.ogg
2-02 Track2.ogg
etc and put 1-01, 1-02... in the track number Tag (ogg) too.
But I (think I) remember reading that the database works better if track number is truly numerical (but maybe I dreamed it) so I now do 'DNN' where 'D' is the disk number and NN is the track number 101, 102..., 201, 202, etc - I don't have any thing that is on more than 8 disks (best of the 80s) and no disk that has more than 99 tracks to that's fine.

Multiplex: If you have the disc number tagged properly then you shouldn't need to alter your track numbers.  Perhaps this was a habit from before the Database supported disc number?

I think it was before the current database...

Back when the very idea of an iPod port was nearly blasphemous ;-)

Edit: I mean putting "1-01" in tracj number, you are right that "101" predates disk number

[Chronon]

I thought so.
