You have to find out what sort criteria your player uses.  
See e.g.

> [@File Order](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/file-order/15565):
>
> I have changed the tags for Title, Album & Artist to all read track 01, track 02 etc up to track 24 where track is all the same file name and it starts playing at track 16 instead of tract 01 any ideas?

or here

> [@Files don't sort correctly on MP3 player](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/files-dont-sort-correctly-on-mp3-player/10517):
>
> I have a series of MP3s that are podcasts. Even though I fixed all the tags to be consistent and the fielnames on Windows 7, they appear out of order on my MP3 player. The long version of the story is that I'm a fan of Marc Gunn's Irish & Celtic Podcast. Marc's released 80-something of the podcasts, and I've got 78 of them on my PC. Unfortunately, Marc has been "lax" about naming the files consistently. So, the first thing that I did when I downloaded the first 78 is to name them consistent…
