In the Remake, what determines the order in which songs will be played? I add music to the game, and would like to also change the order.

Thanks

In shuffle mode music tracks are played in random.
In normal mode - in alphabetical order (0..9..a..z). There could be irregularities, since we do not sort the tracks, we add them how OS file search returned them (usually alphabetic).

Hmm. Numbering them should result in a proper order, right? So song 1 should play first, then 2, then 3, etc.?

Yes, just make sure to use old-time uniform numbering alike 01,02,03,04...
Modern OS might handle odd numbering in explorer (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 06, 06, 0008, 10, 12, 21, 22), but that would still be broken in the game (e.g. 0008, 06, 1, 10, 12, 2, 21, 22, 3, 4)

That's what I was doing wrong! I should have known better to number them uniformly (01 as opposed to 1). Thanks, Krom

I was hesitating to explain that sorting issue (it's quite hard to formulate). Glad it was helpful!
