in which the files were recorded on the media, from the oldest date
and time.

For playback of files on CD-R or CD-RW , files in all folders on the first
layer are played first, next on the second layer, then next on the third
layer, and so on in this order.
USB memory device
For playback of files recorded on USB, files in the first folder on the
first layer are played first, next folders on the second layer in the folder,
then next on the third layer, and so on in this order. Then accordingly
files on another first layer are played.
• The playback order displayed on a PC may differ from the actual
playback order.
• The playback order with a CD-R/CD-RW may differ, depending on
the writing software.
