Ok bear with me... I worked out how to fix this when I plugged in my iphone 4 this morning and it worked perfectly - all tracks were in order!
Checked my itunes library on my PC and all the tracks have the number prefix already. So why didnt my nano work? I think it may be because I havent used it for a year or so and since then I changed computers and moved my itunes library and that added the number prefixes.
So... here comes the science bit:
Make sure you have the latest iTunes installed, I think apple may have changed it about a year ago to put the track numbers in. Then try rebuilding your itunes library.
There is an option to change itunes media library location in Edit->Preferences->Advanced. For example change the location from C:\itunes to C:\new_itunes AND tick the option underneath "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" this will add the track number prefixes. Also tick the "copy files to iTunes" tick box. Press Ok.
Then go to File->Library->Organise Library. Tick both tickboxes "Consolidate" and "Re-organise" and press ok. Will take a while to rebuild depending on size of the media library but after this files should have all track numbers.
Then wipe your ipod or iPhone of all your music and then copy the new updated music files back over.

should now play albums in the correct order. Sorted!
