I think most people organize their folders as artist/album/tracks.

It's very common to have the tracknumber (as two digits) in the filename,
either at the beginning or preceded by the (constant) artist/album info, but in
any case before the title name. So alphabetical sorting gives the correct
order. I have rarely seen different, just the title name would be really
inconvenient.
