I have two suggestions for you that might make this easier. If you're in Files
Mode, you can mark things as you mentioned, but all do stay selected, so you
may want to mark everything first, then add it all to the playlist at once.
But, in that case, they may not add in the order you like. so, instead of
selecting the folders first, when in Files Mode, highlight the folder you want
to add, press the Menu key, and arrow down to the option that says "Add all
files in this folder to a playlist". This will allow you to add each folder
individually, and the songs should add in the order they appear in each of the
folders, as you are correct in that playlist items, when added, are appended,
not put in a specific order. When all selected items are added though, the
selected files are put in an order before they are added. does this make sense?
