   In CMD, make sure you don't have any `DIRCMD` environment variable defined,   
   since whatever options it contains, will be used as the default `DIR`   
   command's options.

   For your case, yes. For FAT-nn, to make sure a directory have the exact   
   physical order of files/subdirectories of your choosing, have an empty   
   destination directory first, then copy/move the files/subdirectories one at   
   a time from the source directory/directories.   
      
   But it's as J. P. Gilliver have asked, is the player really not sort the   
   files before playing them? If it does, then there's nothing you can do.   
      
   You may want to experiment with a small number of files using the method   
   previously mentioned.
