playlist: song order issues

Dear All,

I have used this guide (http://forum.foobar2000.com/forum/showthread.php?118-GUIDE-Transfer-music-to-foobar2000-mobile-over-wi-fi-with-UPnP&highlight=transferring+playlist) and everything seems to work well. Indeed this is a fine piece of software.

However I have one issue I have not been able to resolve. The order of the songs changes when the playlist is transferred to an iPhone.
The following example may help.
I have a playlist with a certain order on my PC foobar2000 v 1.3.2. The order of the song (considering the Artist/album of the first column) is Train, then Arcade fire, then Sylvan Esso. I own full albums of these artists.
Now when I transfer this playlist on the iPhone, the order is changed. What I understand is that the order becomes alphabetical or, if there is a track number is follows that. When transferred to the phone the order then becomes: 1 Arcade Fire, 2 Sylvan Esso, 3 Train. But this is not clearly the order of the songs that I have in my playlist in the PC...

Can I control this, without having to edit the playlist in the iPhone and without having to change the metadata on the original files in my PC?
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Maurizio
