Hey @Nolegrl88!

Welcome to the Community and thanks for reaching out to us.

Have you tried changing the order of those songs on the desktop's app first and then see if it updates on your Android Auto? Keep us posted.

I tried it before the recent update, and it didn't take the sort. The sort on the desktop app was actually the same as on my phone. I can try it again tonight, and if it works, I'd call that a Workaround, not a fix. I'm very seldom using the desktop app, and do my music management from my phone.
