OK try this...

- Remove all tags from the songs...

- Name them like this:
1 - artist - song
2 - artist - song
3 - artist - song

- put them in one folder (My Music for e.g.)...

- create new playlist in media player and add all them at one time...

- press more/sort by/name

and see if this works for your...


P.S. Make sure you have shuffle disabled.

^That's not a solution - there's over 800 songs!
The tags work fine on anything else, media player media monkey, dad's nokia, mum's iPod nano (1st g) and bro's creative Zen. It IS the phone - I know it!
A few albums actualy are in the right order, so I'm gonna see if they have different tags... Otherwise I'll just re-transfer and hope for the best

Music player for k800 is capable of sorting tracks by their number. But on two conditions:
a)Tracks should have tags with the track number in it. Player is incapable of sorting tracks by the file name and it does not seem to be using creation date or, say, file size. So, if there are no tags, than only Satan himself knows how it's sorted.
b)There should be no zeros before the track numbers in the tags. Many people put them there and then use tags for creating file names, but when music player reads those tags it sorts the tracks in the way shown in this topic(9, 8, 1-2-3-e.t.c.). Don't ask me why, but it just does it.

Hope it helps.

When i used a k750i with w800i firmware, I noticed that the media player would play the songs in the order that they were created (copied) on the phone. I noticed that after copying an album downloaded from a torrent... With torrents, files are always downloaded in a random order and, when copying them on the phone, windows would copy them in the order they were created on the hard disk.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say... Check this in your phone's storage. Try ordering the files by their creation date in windows explorer and see if that matches with the playing order. This was always the case on my k750i and it still is on my current p1i, unless I select the "Smart" ordering option in walkman player 3.

Its the same on my K800i. Though its in wrong order in music player not files. I just go into individual artist name and play from there.

the another way using pc, try to cut all of the song and paste into other folder. sort them by name, block n copy them again into your musis folders.

I just re-flashed my K800i with a new firmware - and got exactly this problem!

Before my firmware was R1KG001 and the album sorting was always perfect (as long as the files were properly tagged with track numbers, starting with 01, 02, 03 etc). My new firmware, which should be the most recent (!), is R8BF003. Just unbelievable that they introduce such an error with a new firmware.

I will now re-flash it again - I'll keep you updated.

Now this is weird - I first tried firmware R8BA024 - same error (everything else worked perfect though).

Then back to R1KG001 - and the tracks are back into the correct order again! This just seems too weird, that a bug like this appears in 2 later versions, also it seems very weird so few users have reacted to it?

Howeverm now you know - if you want the tracks of an album to be in the correct order in K800, you need firmware R1KG001. Just a pity I can't find the "EUROPE 4" file system, as I really want Swedish T9.
