Album tracks out of order (iTunes 12)

After purchasing a couple tracks from one album, I decided to also purchase another track that comes earlier in the album's number order than the other two. However, after downloading, I noticed this.

For absolutely no reason whatsoever, the tracklisting is out of order. Now, i've seen problems similar to this before in previous versions. However, this one is unique in that attempting to change the the track or CD number via the info box does nothing. I've encountered a very, very similar problem not too long ago with another album.

I purchased a track ("Ready to Start") from one version of the album, and then purchased the rest of the tracks from the other version (the Deluxe Edition). I tried to fuse them together, only for the one track to go out of order. Even after multiple attempts to change the track and CD number, as well as just deleting and redownloading the entire album (which costed me a digital booklet that I can't redownload; thanks alot, Apple), it was still like this.

The strange part is that the tracklisting is perfect when the album is shown on my iPhone, so I don't understand what's going on with this. It's extremely frustrating. Any suggestions or possible solutions?

Switch to the songs view, enable the disc number and sort album columns, and make sure they are consistent. See Grouping tracks into albums for more.

Huh, I never would've guessed to do that. Thanks a bunch, my friend!

You're welcome.

So I'm having a similar issue; an album's tracks are showing as 1-2-3-5-4 in Album view; I checked them in Song view and each track is tagged with the correct track number and all tracks are part of the same disc. When I sort the tracks by track number, everything is in the correct order, but when I sort by album, or return to Album view, they revert to the incorrect song order.

I checked the actual song files and they're showing in the correct order in the folder (and include the track number in the file name)--the issue only seems to be with the Album view. I've even tried deleting and re-adding the album, but it keeps showing as 1-2-3-5-4.

Is it possible that there's an issue with the files themselves, or is there anything that can be done at that level to get them sorting in Album view properly?  As far as I know this is the only album in my library that's having this problem, and it's really causing my OCD to flare up.

Thanks!

As above check the disc number field. you may need to switch this on in the Songs view if it isn't already shown. Check also that Sort Album, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist & part of a compilation are used in a consistent fashion. Full details in link given earlier.

Oh oh oh, okay, I misread it the first time, the problem was indeed in the Sort Album field. Thanks again for the yeoman's work!

You're welcome.

Apologies for the repeat posts. The forum was doing something odd.
