This bug seems to affect both the Web user interface and the user interface presented via a Squeezebox hence I selected "Database" as the component.

From the SqueezeCentre web interface, if I choose Home -> Albums the album list appears to be presented in the order the tracks appear in the filesystem rather than sorted by album name as I would expect.  This does not change if I use the small drop down list at the bottom left of the screen and make sure 'Album' is selected under 'Sort by...'.  If I select 'Artist, Album' from that drop down list sorting works correctly (by Artist, Album).

Although I can not see an equivalent of this drop down list on the Squeezebox itself the strange sort behaviour remains.  If I choose 'Music Folder -> Album' to browse by album the album names are displayed but not in order.

I have tried clearing the database and re-scanning and this does not help.

I am not sure how much difference it makes but the underlying filesystem is ReiserFS which means the order of files returned by the opendir/readdir/closedir depends on the hash function rather than the order the files were added to the directory so this may have the effect of exposing this bug.
