Summary0015210: Android Auto Now Playing shortcut (to specific tracks in the list) is useless
Description1 Play a large number of tracks
2 In android auto > MMA, tap Now Playing
3 In 'Now Playing' tap the default shortcut that's used to quickly scroll to a part of the list
--> all letters are greyed out and the user can only click '1 2 3'
4 Click 1 2 3
--> tracks display in incorrect sort order:
1 <track>
10 <track>
100 <track>
1000 <track>
...
1009 <track>
101 <track>
etc..

The simplest fix would be to disable this shortcut.

A full fix would be to display something like
1-100
200
300
400
500
1000
1500
2000
....
TagsNo tags attached.

1) This shortcut is added by Android Auto (MMA can't disable it or change behavior)
2) The shortcut seems to be visible on Oreo devices only
3) The shortcut seems to be visible for large lists only
4) The shortcut list depends on items titles
- that's why "123" is only visible in "Now playing" because all track titles start by position.
5) Usually choosing of "123" or "A" .. "Z" cause scrolling to first track starts by this letter
in "Now playing" it cause that items are reordered because titles are sorted alphabetically, it means that
1
10
10000
is before
2
20

I guess the only possible "solution" would be to get rid of the play order prefix on Android Auto. However, that solution creates a situation worse than the original problem.

Resolving as 'won't fix'.
