I can't recall if the track number column is automatically populated when you import, but you don't need that column, nor do you need to incorporate the track number into the file name. Another way of handling it is to choose the Date Added as the sort criterion, then reverse the sort. Of course, that's only useful if you are filtering on the album name.
