    Why doesn't Media Player play movie files in their listed order, shown in the List Pane? Instead they are played in seemingly random order. It doesn't help to sort them manually either. Still plays random. :confused:

    I can't find a "random" option, but "Shuffle" was clicked in Play options. Clicking off Shuffle the files played in order after WMP had been turned off, and started over again. But it only played once in order, after which it switches back and forth between two files. And Play is not set on any special option now! Very strange. :confused:

    The Next button doesn't work either.
