I have a 2011 prius. Is there a way to designate the order files are played in a folder?

I can't speak to the 2011 Prius because I don't know if there are changes between 2011 and 2013, but I've noticed that files are displayed in the order they are loaded onto the flash drive.

I have all my files number-prefixed (a system I use to organize my MP3 collection). This ensures all files remain grouped together and in the correct track order when co-mingled because Windows organizes alphabetically as a default.

Likewise, all my folders are number-prefixed for similar reasons.

I've sometimes had to copy files over more than once to ensure it starts from FOLDER 1, FILE 1 to the last folder and file. Normally this is what happens anyhow and everything is loaded with sequential date/time stamps.

 

This topic has been discussed before. Here's one of the best answers I've found related to it...
