iTunes 10.2.2 displaying tracks out of order

Recently iTunes has begun displaying songs out of order (for example the album I just imported is listed thusly: 3, 1, 6, 4. 7, 2, 10, 8, 9 11, 5). Miraculously, if I put that same album on my iPod, the songs are rearranged 1 through 11.

This can't be right, and a simple fix is readily available, right?

On edit: I just added another album to the library, and not only are the tracks displayed out of order, but his split the two albums up into a number of seemingly random chunks.

NOW this is getting really weird!

To put your music back in order simply go to settings, click on music then click on sort songs by and pick your choice.

I have the same issue and it’s not a mixed artist album.

Why are we having to "jump through hoops" to fix this issue? Shouldn't Apple send an update to fix it?
