The alphabetic ordering on the empeg is so that you can jump in the
lists by pressing the letter keys on the remote - ie press 8 two times
and you're on the first song in the list that starts with an 'U'.

I also would just like to clarify that songs aren't forced into alphabetic display, just the playlists. take the statement above and replace the word 'song' with the word 'playlist'.

I'd just like to say right now, read previous posts on this subject if you have a beef about how it is. It's been debated thoroughly (with me making a full prick out of myself just for defending something), and complaining about it more is just a waste of time. It would be nice to know what they ultimately decided to do in v1.1, but we'll have to wait and see (ooo, isn't that a novel approach!). Thanks!
