Sorry, no success, did not work :-(
After sorting this way, the actual cd number will still be displayed...

But i found a workaround:
...
go first marked cd
   repeat with i = 1 to the num of marked cds
     set the num of this cd to i
     go next marked cd
   end repeat
  go first marked cd
...

does exactlyly what i want and since i lock screen i think this will be 
fast
enough even with lots of cards...

That's for sure :-)

Thanks for your inspiration ;-)
