All my albums are in alphabetical order. Why is this and how do I fix it? They were all from the SD card i had on my past phone and it was in track order. I can't stand alphabetical order for the artist and album sections on the music player if i wanted alphabetical order i would be going through the "Songs" section which i never do. How do I fix this??

Every single album is in alphabetical order
Legendary Tales by Rhapsody is shown when viewing the album in the player as :
Echoes of Tragedy, Flames of Revenge, Forest of Unicorns, Ira Tenax, Land of Immortals, Legendary Tales, Lord of the Thunder, Rage of the Winter, Virgin Skies, Warrior of Ice
when it should be:
Ira Tenax, Warrior of Ice, Rage of the Winter, Forest of Unicorns, Flames of Revenge, Virgin Skies, Land of Immortals, Echoes of Tragedy, Lord of the Thunder, Legendary Tales
 
Which music app are you using? Some music apps aren't good at reading the ID3 tags, and ignore the track data. Or maybe the music files don't have track numbers associated with them. Use an ID3 tag editor (either on your phone or your computer) and check the details of each track--make sure they have the proper track number.

A workaround is to rename the track by adding the track number at the beginning of the song name (e.g., "01 - Hotel California").

I shouldn't have to add a friggin number also if I do I have albums that have more than 10 tracks and in alphabetical order they will put the 10-19 numbers before 2 and after 1. Also I am using the app called "Default Music Player" by JEYAVELU V. it has a purplish blue speaker as the icon.
Also most of my albums are ripped from the ACTUAL Cds released by the respective bands. The example I gave earlier I just checked off my computer. and they all have the proper track numbers.

Also I don't even know what id3 is. :\
 
You're right, you shouldn't have to add the track number--I only suggested it as a workaround.

ID3 tags are where all music tags hold their information like song title, artist, track number, album name, etc. If you use Windows Explorer to right click a music file and look at its Properties>Details, that's the ID3 tag information. You can edit it there, or you can install a program like MediaMonkey to make it a bit easier.

If the tracks have the proper information in the ID3 tag, then I suspect the music app you're using isn't reading that information correctly. In the old days, the default Android music app was terrible at this, and would usually only alphabetize tracks. Have you tried Google Play Music? If Play Music orders the tracks correctly, then you know it's a problem with that Default Music Player app.
