Here is what I have for Group By
CODE
$if3(%band%,%album artist%,%ensemble%) - %album% - $hex(%disc%,2)


and here is what it looks like:

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Single disc albums look fine.

My suggestion is to try it without the dashes. My Group setup is like this:

CODE
$if($strstr(%cwb_activelist%,'!'),%cwb_activelist%,%album%%disc%)


and it works fine for me. Of course, it could also be the $hex() function. I don't think you need it in the group setup.

I personally use:
CODE
$if(%tracknumber%,%album%%discnumber%,!noheader!)


Again, try without the dashes.

As Hakubo indicates below you may want to look at your sort string from either:

File> Preferences> General> "Sort incoming files by:"
-or-
Edit> Sort> "Sort by ..."

SCPL will group by whatever you have listed in the group by field, however it will not rearrange your tracks to fit those groups. You must first develop a working sort string to place the songs in the order you desire before you can achieve a desired grouping appearance.

I guess you must have sorting of the incoming files by tracknumber enabled, that's why the tracks are in improper order. Or the problem lies in the filenames, if the sorting is by %path_sort% as by default (look in Preferences -> General -> Sort incoming files by:).
The behavior of the playlist looks well fitting your string, since as you can see in the headers there are no neighboring groups where %album% and %discnumber% are the same.

Yeah, it was the "Sort by..." thing.
