Non-alphabetical arrangement
Llorean:
What do you mean by "When I sort it by track number?" Rearranging the order the files are in a folder on your computer usually is just rearranging the way your computer displays them, not actually moving anything.

Let's go back to the beginning here, because I don't really understand the problem...

File Browser or Database?
How are your files named?
Do your files have ID3/Vorbis metadata?
What are you expecting Rockbox to do, exactly?
Are you aware that Rockbox has a setting for file display including 'alphabetical' (default) and 'modified date'?

...and I'm sorry, but that sentence makes no logical sense at all. The Rockbox File Browser has no automatic sort by track number, only alphabetic by filename, but if the filename happens to contain the track number at the beginning, then by default alphabetic is the same as 'by track number'.

I was rearranging their order by going into the hard drive with my computer, I thought that would work but it didn't. After the Database was recomended, though, I used that and it does exactly what I want, which is allow me to play the songs in order by track, unlike just going into the music folder in Files. So, anyway, problem solved. This is my first time ever using Rockbox, I only found it because someone on the product forums on Amazon said it was great. I'm still not familiar with all of it's little features and how to access them, but the database is exactly what I wanted, so thank you.

That is just changing how your operating system on your computer displays the files. How did you expect that sorting information to get to rockbox? I'm glad the database does what you want, but this isn't a rockbox limitation, it is how filesystems work.

Well, I'm no computer expert. I thought that since I was in the actual hard drive of the player, it would rearrange them on the player.
