That might be true, but the disc number field is not visible by default.
If it were visible by default and I could see that my single album was
incorrectly tagged with two different disc numbers, that would be one
thing, because it would be obvious why it was sorted that way.  But
since it's not visible, I was completely confused and assumed it was a
bug, because assuming Banshee also sorts by disc number when I ask it to
only sort by track number doesn't make sense to me.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you're going to sort by something,
you can't make it a hidden field, because that will lead to confusion
for mis-tagged albums like mine.  (I'm usually very particular about how
I tag my music, but most people aren't as thorough as me).  If you want
to also sort by disc number when the user asks to only sort by track
number, then at least show the other field you're sorting by.  So it's
not so much a bug as a usability problem I think.

This happens with some of my albums, not all of them.  On some albums, when I sort by track number ascending, track 1 appears at the bottom.  This happens even if there are more than 10 tracks (i.e. track 1 is sorted below track 10).  There is nothing special about the ID3 tags in the affected files that I can tell.  Please let me know if there's any other info I can provide to help figure this out.
