If I write my own player (which wouldn't happen), I may choose
to always order files alphabetically, in the absence of any
overriding logic.

Um, no, "in alphabetical order" *is* overriding logic. "The order I'm
given them" (i.e. the order the filesystem presents them to the UI) is the
only thing you get without logic/code/an algorithm to re-order them.

I think that's doable, but I'm afraid its usefulness may be limited.

Agreed, for all the reasons you mention.
