If I use the 'Browse Artists' tool I see a list of artists, and inside each artist "folder" there is a "folder" for each album. However, the tracks in that album are displayed in the wrong order, even though gmpc does seem to _know_ the order -- if I right-click on a track and select 'Information', the track number is displayed correctly. It must be in the id3 tags -- and it's certainly available in the .m3u files which match each album, although I suspect gmpc/mpd don't really associate the two. When I add the album to the playlist, the tracks are also added in the wrong order. (Unless I use the 'Browse Filesystem' option and just add the .m3u file, of course. But that lacks the subdivision by artists and the album art, etc.)

This seems to have regressed in F8.
In 0.15.5.0 this seems to be fixed. I have updated rawhide; F8 and F7 will follow soon.
It seems to add them in the right order now, but still doesn't display them in the right order when you select them in the Artist Browser.
gmpc-0.15.5.0-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update gmpc'
The new artist browser let's you select after which criteria to sort the albums if you click on one of the column headers. In my tests it seems to remember the sorting order once it has been selected.
