Still struggling with file tags in foobar2000

So far I've not been successful. I've just lost the order I had in the files from loading them andnow everything is sorted by track number, not exactly a natural order.  No the sort of problem I thought I'd have, but indeed a typical problem for software.

I may need to put all the tags in by hand, after converting the WAV files to FLAC files? 

And yes, testing today suggests again that playing iTunes through 'direct sound' or 'safe mode' chosen in QuickTime is inferior to foobar2000 and ASIO.  Agh...

Update #1 (1:02 am): god, is this thing a temptation to stay up late.  I'm not fixing file systems, I'm just listening.   Though the random sequence of tracks is a bit odd.
