Track ordering with Sort By Year/Album

[sleepless]

How does MB sort tracks using Sort By Year/Album if the track# field is empty? It seems pretty random, not alphabetically.

Can you give us a screenshot?

Most of these track titles are named by <date> <title>. The file names are the same. As you can see, there is no order to how they are being sorted in MB. I am using the 'album artist/year/album' sort order.

And none of those tracks have a Year, Disc #, or Track #?  What is the album artist?

Nope. All those fields are empty, Artist is "Adyashanti". See the image:

Huh.  What happens if you use a custom sort order: Album Artist \ Year \ Album \ Disc-Track# \ Title?

Looks like that did the trick. Thanks.
