If the tracks are from a CD you imported, I’d check the track numbers first.


In iTunes, select a song, choose Song Info > Details, and look at Track Number and Disc Number. If those are wrong or missing, iTunes may sort the album incorrectly.


Also make sure the album is being sorted by Track Number, not by song name or another column.


If all the track numbers are correct but the order is still wrong, let us know whether this is a single-disc or multi-disc CD.
