Playing order for audio data CDsAudio files 
   on data media are often organised by means of folders 
 and 
playlists 
 to determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order. Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the 
sequence on the CD.
The illustration 
⇒fig. 11  shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks 
 
(titles), folders 
   and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in the 
following order:
With regard to the playing order, playlists 
 are treated like folders.
