I did some investigation in 2017 ([https://community.mp3tag.de/t/anzeigen-von-bildinhalten-im-tag-panel/19557](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/anzeigen-von-bildinhalten-im-tag-panel/19557)) and came to the conclusion that Mp3tag uses the following order:

a) folder.jpg  
b) any image file with "folder" in the file name  
c) cover.jpg  
d) other image files in alphabetical order

So a workaround for you could be to place an additional folder.jpg or cover.jpg in the directory.
