Suggestion: playlist un-shuffling

How playlist and shuffle work now is this. Say I've got shuffle "on". I navigate to a particular song, and play it, and load that directory's contents, shuffled, into the playlist. But, whups! That's an album, and I prefer to listen to albums straight through. So I bring up the quick menu and left-arrow to change shuffle to "off". But that playlist I'm currently playing is... still shuffled. To do what I want, I have to hit stop to clear the playlist, navigate (from the root directory, grr) to my album, and select the first song again.

I'd rather that when it loads a playlist, it remembers the original, disc order of it AND the order it shuffled it into. Then, if I turn off shuffle, it starts playing in the original order, from the current song. Or, I suppose, you could just alphabetize the playlist contents by filename when shuffle is turned off. Either way, I wish that turning off shuffle would "unshuffle" the playlist
