So the problem appears to be that even though Track # is looked up, the default views for CDs:
- Don't display the track number
- Don't sort by track number

The simplest solution might be to use the views that are currently used for Albums for CDs as well. Alternatively, adjust the current views (but I think that might not be possible because they may be the same view as is used for other nodes).

Are we talking about Audio CDs ?

I see that default sorting for Audio CDs (both 'List by Album' and 'List') is: [Album Artist, Album, Disc #, Track #, Title] , see:

This is the same sorting as the default for albums [List] :

So not sure what changes you are suggesting?

Yes--this is in reference to Audio CDs.

The original issue is a refresh problem. i.e. the sort settings are correct, but they aren't applied upon initial CD insertion.

As to my suggestion about changing the default views, I was suggesting that the current default Audio CD view [List (by Album)], isn't ideal because:
- It's designed for displaying _multiple_ albums. For a single album (i.e. for most Audio CDs), it wastes a lot of space because the Artwork/Summary take up a lot of space so that other metadata columns don't display.
- It doesn't show the Tr# field

Wouldn't it make more sense to display a view that includes: the track#'s + all of the looked up metadata + the info panel (or perhaps did we take the current approach of not displaying the info-panel because it won't be populated)?

If the above is unclear, see: https://www.screencast.com/t/KeoSXiOj6MB

'Info panel' for audio CDs is something for future versions.

I have made this changes in 2251 (for 5.0):
- default columns for CDs adjusted to 'Track#', 'title', 'artist', 'album', 'genre', 'length', 'path'
- default sort: Track#
- made [List] view by default (instead fof [List (by Album)]) to save vertical space
- the refresh problem in [List (by Album)] is fixed
