When I play music in folder view, Plex plays the tracks in the order they appear, so I’m not sure why that isn’t happening for you.

As for playlists, you could create a [smart playlist](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-create-playlists-updated-for-new-ui/146040), and the playlist will be updated automatically when Plex sees new tracks in the folder.
