I am putting music onto an SD card, and want to know if changing the "sort by" order is simply for ease of viewing in windows/file explorer, or if it actually embeds the order into the folder they are contained within (will it stay in the same order if I put the SD card in a car or mp3 player). It would be much more convenient than renaming all of the files with a "1." "2." "3." in front. Also is there an easy workaround I am missing? It seems like "group by" has the same parameters, but I haven't really looked into it.Thanks.
