Default Re: what to do if mp3s are not sorted right

02 artist1
02 artist2
03 artist1
would be absolutely correct .. they get sorted alphabetically and the above is an alphabetic ascending order. The numbers are part of the filename and count for the sorting strategy even before the names since they come first. Numbers are part of the "alphabet" (which is ASCII in this case), too.
If you want to have your files sorted by artist you should have renamed them :
artist1 01
artist1 02
artist1 03
artist2 01

and I just don't believe the "06 04 11 07" you said. I don't see a reason an alphabetic sorting would do that.
Please check again now that you know what alphabetic means.
