Incorrect songs order on USB

Incorrect songs order on USB
Hi,
I've loaded a huge USB drive with thousands of songs (below the max stated in the manual though). When I browse Artists and choose an album, the songs are in the wrong order, constantly. I know that the system processes the tags, not the filenames. I've looked at the track number field and it shows something like "3/11" for the 3rd track etc. Could that be the culprit?
I'm using a Sundisk Ultrafit USB 3.1, 256GB formatted Fat32.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem loading 2000+ tracks on my flash drive. The ML system could process only 500 tracks, and not necessarily in the anticipated order on the flash drive. My solution was to download the flash drive to my iTunes. Then I divided the flash drive into several labeled folders, the same genres as iTunes. I reloaded the flash drive genre by genre while limiting each folder to less than 500 tracts.
The ML system now processes the full library. The browser reads all genres and folders. This is a very nice access to my library of non-compressed CDs.

Also, I recall that when adding a large USB drive, the car needed 10-15 minutes to process the list for first time (after that it was up and running within a minute).

When my file names have numbers in front, it doesn't follow the logical order. It'll play track 1 then 11, 2 then 22, etc. If I remember correctly, I think putting zeroes in front of the single digits helped.

That’s exactly what I did, on my way to check it in my lovely new ES...btw, off topic, my wife sat in it for the first time and she was like, whatever, it’s your toy...

Dividing the flash drive into multiple folders of less than 500 files enables the ML system to access the entire library. Will list the entire library in alphabetical order by song, artist, album, folder, genre, etc. Track play continues in alphabetical order of the browser function used. The two shuffle options are random play within a single CD or random play throughout all CDs.

Like mentioned here before, it is possible to browse by folder and then it plays by file name, so a song number with zero ahead will work. Other option is to retag the files so the song number will prefix the title (many free tools can do this), but it’s annoying.

Ok, so when the system processes the album it orders the songs based on their title on an alphabetical order, instead of ordering them based on track number in the tag. Pretty dumb, and a little inexcusable for this type of car. Hopefully the software team follows this forum.

Ok, now everything works after updating the title names by adding a prefix with a zero padded number (e.g. changed the title "Freak on a leash" to "02.Freak on a leash"). I've used Tag&Rename to do that. Now I can browse artists, choose the albums, and the songs play the right way.
I did the same with FLAC files as well, of course.
