You might already have the manual but just in-case here it is,http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/fileadmin/user_upload/manuals/car_audio_manuals/CDE-120R/OM_CDE-120R_EN.pdf Might be worth deleting track names then putting them onto your usb,just a guess mate,but you never know lol.

you wold need to number them 001 002 and so on, cos you go over 10 and call 10 010

sorry they are all ready numbered as you said
from 001,002,003,004.005 etc to 020 as you have said..

what are u using to number them try using itunes, it works like that for me.
it also works in itunes if you just number them 1 2 3 - 10 11 and so on
if that don’t work just add a 1 2 3 and so on at the start off the name
it must b the way your sys is reading them play about with it.

found this may help u out
