Music streaming question - why alphabetical order all of a sudden?

Hope someone can help me sort this quite easily. Seems to be a simple problem but can'r for the life of me figure it our myself. Google does not seem to be my friend in this case either :o


I have recenlt upgraded from Windows 7 Ulitmate to Windows 10 and am pretty happy in the most part but have one problem.


I have a radio in the kitchen which I use for streaming albums from the PC and it used to work very well under Windows 7. Now it still works (but slower to load) but all the albums and tracks in the library have been sorted into alphabetical order - no good if you're listening to a whole album as they need to be in the order they appear on the original album.


Other than sticking a number in the name of every track, does anyone know which setting I should be amending to get it to sort by track as it was before? Can't locate anything I can change in WMP or anywhere else.


Many thanks all :D

    Have you tried various options of "Arrange by":
    folder
    album
    artist
    song
    ... ?

    This is for W7, but has to be similar for W10

    For this very reason I name all my tracks with a leading track number for ages now. Best program to do this automatically is Musicbrainz Picard. It can also embed the coverart if you wish.

    Tried going into folder options on where the music is stored on the PC but no luck. It's not the same as Windows 7 as far as I can see. Will try again later in case I missed anything. Glad to know I'm not the only one annoyed by this. First world problems eh? lol

    He is just a spammer posting random pointless posts to build the posts count.
