Describe
Currently when you double-click on a folder, Cog plays (or appends) new tracks in the order that the files are sorted on Finder. For albums that have multiple discs, the default Finder order (likely, alphabetical order) will likely not be the intended order of playing.

To cirumvent this, you have to either re-sort the scene to get the correct order or the order you want; or to straight up re-sort your Finder folder.

Expected behavior
On folder double-click, tracks are automatically sorted in a specific way. The intended order is usually sorting by track number (Nº) ascending.

Screenshots
Currently, when you double-click a folder, the order goes:

This is because in Finder, the order is:

Judging from the track numbers, this listening order is wrong.

I could certainly rename all tracks in Finder, but this is a huge hassle. What if on folder double-click, you automatically get this?

Version information:*

macOS version: Sonoma 14.7
Cog version: 2869 (2869-g58cbda594)

Additional context

Cog cannot sort by track number on open unless the track number is in the filename. Tags are not loaded before the tracks are added to the playlist.
