Why do some albums play in the correct order yet the tracks of others are played in a random order? I've run a few albums through an ID3 renaming program thingy an' all. Still the same!

"Mungo \"Two Sheds\" Toadfoot" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Depends on the head unit, I s'pose. What's the manual say?
I think they mainly go by track title - so I tend to name 'em 01- , 02- etc.
I've had the same thought. I had one album that insisted on playing in reverse order! I've tried renaming numerically, but that doesn't do it either. My only other thought was file date/time (some rippers rip in a funny order) but I've never confirmed it. And I'm an IT guy so I ought to know, but I don't!
and some rather stupidly play them in the order they happen to end up in the directory - not normally visible to or controllable by the user but roughly equates to the order they were added to a freshly formatted drive.
Search for a program 'foldersort' and see if that helps.
