I wouldn't assume that at all. If you're lucky the player will read
track metadata from the ID3 tags.

Uh... Depends on your player software. RTFM.

Again, RTFM for your specific player. You may find that it plays 0-9
first, then A-Z, or it may play directories first or playlist files or
.... - find out what you intend to play them with and read its
documentation. Or just burn a CD and find out.
