I have the same issue when streaming UPnp from a WMP media server - the songs are listed in alphabetical order, not track order. I discovered if I viewed them from "server name"/music/folders, they are in track order, but if I use All Artists, Album Artists, Albums, ext, they are listed in alphabetical order. When I tried another UPnp player (default music player on HTC), they listed by track order under all options. To me, appears to be an issue with MMA. It would be great to change how the files are listed.

It most likely is. According to UPnP-AV standards the sorting should be done by the media server, but the client has to submit the sort criteria if it wants a specific order (see section 2.3.19 of http://upnp.org/specs/av/UPnP-av-Conten ... ervice.pdf). Other than HTC's app MMA apparently does not submit sort criteria and the server therefore returns an alphabetically sorted list.
