As far as I can tell the implicit order of tracks depends on "track number" 
and "disc number". Are you aware of the "disc number" meta data field? A 
prerequisite is that all Discs of your multi-cd-box share the same "album" 
name. This should give you exactly what you asked for (at least it works for 
me;).

Cheers.

P.S.: Please think twice before editing meta data with Rhythmbox, your ID3v2 
tags will get updated to rev. 4 (which are not readable by most hardware 
players), ID3v1 tags will get striped away, and some other unrequested 
things may happen to the meta data of your collection (see my previous post).
