Sort playlist view 2 CD's

Apologies for what is probably a stupid question , but I've bee searching forum  and trying various things for ages and getting nowhere.
Using ColumnsUI & 0.9.6.9,  The problem is on certain double CD's  e.g. Essentail Springsteen the playlist view is listed track
1.01,2.01,1.02,2.02  etc. The album list view is sorted/listed correct.  Have tried various things [%discnumber%]%tracknumber% in custom sort fied in playlist view but got nothing to work as yet. Stangely not all double CD's affected e.g. The wall lists okay.  Sorting by track number corrects but I want it to display correct in the first instance.
Thanks for any suggestions of what and where to code solution .

Fixed this by renaming files of affected discs adding  discnumber thus allowing windows to list files in correct order. Not really how I wanted to do it but it works.

Your syntax should work. If it isn't working you probably use a custom sorting scheme with discnumber left out. You can check this by changing the sort order to foobar's default album sort, this one has discnumber in it, before tracknumber. (Edit > Sort by album)

Also, you could create grouping which splits albums with multiple discs into multiple groups, by adding discnumber to the groupingscheme.

Edit the tracknumber column with your own [%discnumber%]%tracknumber%.
