Wrong sorting of discs in track listing of tag view

[moodenigo]

If you have a multi-disc album, and more than 9 discs, then they are sorted in the wrong way.
For instance, first album1, then 10, 11, 12, until 19, then 2, and so on.

The correct behaviour should be 1 to last in their natural order.

I'm not sure that anything constrains the disc number value to be numeric but I'll leave the resolution to Tim.

Meanwhile, the traditional solution to this dilemma is to number a sequence of items 01, 02, ..., 09, 10, 11, ....

How are the tracks numbered in the file system?

Here's an example from one of my multi-disc albums.

This particular example has a folder for each disc in the album, numbered CD1, CD2, CD3, CD4, ...., CD9, CD10, ... CD19, CD20, CD21, and CD22.
The files are also named with as "discnumber-tracknumber - tracktitle" 

If the files are all in the same directory then the ordering of the discs is correct (provided discnumber has two digits, i.e. disc numbers < 10 begin with a zero)
