Default Cars play songs on flash drive in alphabetical order by file name.

Thank God new to me car I just bought has fancy lcd screen type
interface. I finally have a car stereo plays mp3 directly from a cd and
includes usb and aux inputs as well. Only issue is you have to copy mp3
and picture files off the usb onto it's internal 30Gb hard drive and it
doesn't seem able to just play them directly off the usb device. Other
than takes times to copy not any real issue. Play does Random ... yea
haw!!! but looking at them they are in alphabetical order.


My KIA Sorento only took 8-1/2 HOURS to load my 8100 songs from the
USB.

I add a character (~) to the end of song titles of songs I really
like, and add it twice (~~) to indicate my "top 60" favorites. Since
it is the last character in the field, it does not affect sorting.
After a recent KIA recall software upgrade (apparently unrelated to
the radio at all), the "random" order setting insisted on playing only
those from the Top 60, although those were played in random order. I
had to rename the files on the USB stick to change ~~ to just ~ on
those files, and then reload them all again to get it to work
properly. It reloads all instead of just changed or new files(another
8.5 hours).

Are they using Windows-10 as a software base grin?
