Well that's not what I'm seeing in VLC for Android.  I've resigned
myself to using SMB networking and have added my music directory on
the server to the SMB sharing.  The tracks show up in alphabetical
order of file name in VLC on Android which, with the track number as
the start of the filename works OK.

So I have what I want basically.  :-)  (except for a few directories
where the file name wasn't started with the track number but I can fix
that)

By the way in VLC on Linux (and maybe on Windows, not sure) you can
select the sort order of tracks in a directory by right clicking on
the window showing the list of tracks.  It took me a while to find
this when I first ran VLC on my Linux systems.
