This is more of a cellphone app question than a computer question, and may in fact belong in the Lounge forum. I save MP3 files from a podcast to a micro SD card in my old Moto E2 cellphone which I listen to on my daily commute. I renamed all files as a-, b-, c- according to the date they were recorded so that I'm listening to them in sequential order. When I look at the files using Google Files they appear in this order.
However, when I open them in Google Play Music in order to listen to them, they appear in random order and show the title of the lecture, not the filename.
The other app I use to listen to MP3 files is a no-frills freebie called Musicolet. I normally use it for the user-friendly interface. Musicolet has an option to sort the files by title or filename.
But even with File name-descending selected, the files appear randomly with the title only, not in a, b, c order like I see them in Google Files. Apparently the player apps are not seeing the filename, but rather the title of the lecture, and sort them randomly. I looked at the settings of my app and in the phone, and don't see an option to force the app to sort and play in order by filename. Any ideas?
