Sorting the Files in Directories when searching by directory

Hello,

I have a sorting-problem, especially when i hear classical music.
I don't tag all files. Many are already tagged, but in different quality.
So i normally browse my music-database by directory. But that's the problem.
The files within a directory are always sorted by the tag of the title and not by the filename although browsing not by any tags but by the directorystructure.
So the files within a directory (e.g. a ripped CD) are sorted alphabetically by the title-tag.
It would be much more consistent if the files would be sorted by the name of the files when sorting by directory-structure.
It also would be better to sort by the tag of the track-number. So the files wouldn't get into another order than on the original CD. And re-tagging wouldn't be necessary. At the moment, I have to retag all my titels and set the track-number on the beginning of the title to get the correct order. It'S really boring.
Or is there a possibility to change the default sorting-type?

Thank you

mawag

You might want to look at some of Briain's posts. He has created some good navigation trees for classical music.

There might be something useful here as well:
