    Tracks are ordered by creation or modified timestamp iirc. There’s a script you can use that will go through your file list and update the timestamps based on filename order so they match.

    (Thats the stupidest thing to sort on tho, idk why they did that)

      Oh wow. So that’s what it’s doing. I could see it was ignoring most metadata that other software would use, but never thought of that.

      Great to have an answer, but a shame it’s such an incredibly stupid one!

      Edit: With the help of a python script made by Claude I’ve made things better.

      But even now that things are ordered correctly many albums ”start” at track 10 and finish with tracks 1-9, so I have to scroll back to go to track 1. Madness.
