I'm having trouble figuring out how my iPod is ordering songs.

For CDs that I rip myself, the iPod orders them in the same order as the
songs appear on the CD.

The difficulty comes when I assemble an album with songs taken from
various sources. Here's an example:

I have a four-song EP that myself and a friend recorded many years ago.
I recently burned the four tracks to CD and ripped them to iTunes.

_Then_, I received an alternate mix of one of the songs from my friend,
who had ripped it himself and emailed it to me.

When I place the alternate mix into iTunes, renumber the track numbers
to include the new mix at the _end_ of the four tracks I already have,
the iPod insists on placing the new track second in the songlist!

Making sure I've sorted my library in iTunes by track number before I
synch the iPod makes no difference. The only song order the iPod will
show that EP is the wrong order.

What's going on here and how can I can the iPod to play an album back in
the order it oughta?
