Windows 10: Does sorting files by name, date modified, etc. in file explorer embed the preferred order...

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.

File Explorer Sort Order

Question regarding sort order for File Explorer in Windows 10: The sort order changes with updates at times. My sort order preference is to show file folders alphabetically first and then files sorted either by date modified or alphabetically, depending
on the search. What's the best way to set that as the default?

 

Sort files AND folders by "Date Modified" in File Explorer

Hello,

Is there a way to sort folders and individual files by "Date Modified" together? Right now, when I sort by "Date Modified," folders are automatically put at the bottom below files, even if they have been modified more recently than a file. When I'm quickly
scanning a list, this is very distracting. How can I fix this?

 

Windows 10 File Explorer Folder Sort Order

Why does File Explorer not remember sort preferences when I go into a key folder or library (like "Pictures" for example")?

After a boot I go into Pictures I sort it in "date modified". Next boot I go back in to "Pictures" in file explorer and its back in File/Folder name order. There is not one single person on earth that wants a large folder with lots of sub-folders sorted
in filename / folder name order. And those that do are wrong. I don't need to point out this was sorted (pun intended) in Windows XP SP3. 4 OS's and 14 years later.....
