The inexpensive Chinese head unit in my 2007 Japanese import ML63 is now functioning well; I have removed part of the Japanese aftermarket motorway-tag equipment, and I no longer hear the high-pitched Japanese voice stating, "Car go back; don't use any DVD" after each ignition. The head unit has a prolonged boot-up time (2GB RAM / 32GB ROM, Cortex A7 quad-core CPU), but functions adequately thereafter. Apple CarPlay works seamlessly with my iPhone; Waze operates consistently, and everything is satisfactory—nearly...
I play my music on a USB stick, which has recordings of CDs organized in individual folders, created using my Windows home computer. The issue is that the folders on the USB stick are not shown in alphabetical order on the Android 14 head unit, despite being organized that way on the USB stick. I conducted a thorough online search, then performed a complete format of the USB stick, organized the folders using a complimentary application named Drivesort, and then transferred them on the stick; nevertheless, there has been no alteration.
Does anybody possess a resolution to the issue?

Determine the method by which it prioritizes the files.
Is there a way to specify prioritization criteria? On your PC, you will see a right-click option followed by choices for size and alphabetical arrangement.
Alternatively, prefix the files according to the unit's prioritization, for example, 1. Beethoven's 18:12 PM.
Mozart's arrangement of Apache in C major.

I appreciate your assistance; nevertheless, I have not made any progress, other from identifying some incorrect responses. I possess little knowledge about Android, and the manufacturer's email assistance is entirely ineffective; unless I can provide the order number, which I am unable to do, they are unable of assisting me. It is conceivable that the issue is due to a software flaw, which may be resolved with an update; however, the manufacturer is unable to assist.
The attributes of the folders indicate that they were all downloaded to the SD card on the same day and in the sequence of their download, arranged in alphabetical order as shown on the PC. I am uncertain about the criteria the head unit employs for prioritization; however:
Renaming folders by adding a number at the beginning of the name is inconsequential;
They are not arranged in alphabetical order.
They are not presented in the sequence of their download.
They are not arranged in order of size.
It is reliable; it consistently lists the folders beginning with Queen - Greatest Hits, indicating a commendable taste in music.
If there is an option to modify the system's prioritization, I am unaware of how to locate it; I possess little knowledge about Android.
I am using Windows 10 on the computer. I am unable to locate the option to modify the prioritization of the folders; but, as they are already arranged in alphabetical order, would re-selecting this option be beneficial?

The situation is becoming more peculiar. When a USB stick or SD card is inserted into the USB port, the little three-pronged symbol on the touchscreen illuminates. Upon removing the original USB stick and substituting it with an SD card and converter in the same port, two three-pronged symbols appeared on the screen. The SD card has a limited number of music folders.
Activating the second icon reveals and plays all content stored on the SD card, but not in alphabetical sequence. Activating the first icon reveals and plays a random assortment of files from the USB stick, including those not present on the SD card, despite the USB stick being disconnected from the head unit.
It seems that some material from the USB stick has been inadvertently transferred to the head unit. I did not believe that was feasible...
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Is it feasible to upload all my music into my iPhone, organize the files in alphabetical order, and play them using Apple CarPlay while also use Waze for navigation with Apple CarPlay?

I regret to inform you that I am unable to assist; nonetheless, I must emphasize that you should transition your PC to Windows 11 as soon as possible.
Your suggestion to use an Android phone as mass storage via AA or Bluetooth is irrelevant, since you do not own one, making it the most futile remark of the week.
Does iTunes still exist?
