Playing music from MP3 Folder on PC thru PS3

[trouble843]

I'm not very technically savy... so bare with me....
I've searched this forum to see if I could find an answer to my problem but I couldn't find anything.
Here's the deal.
Thru my PS3 I can see my MP3 music folder I have on my PC.
I can go inside it and see all the folders that are in there listed by artist names.
I can play music from any of these folders.
So I went in and created a new folder in the MP3 folder and dropped a lot of various music into this folder - to play for a party.
Then I arranged all this music into the order I wanted it to play for the party.
I can see this music and play it from my PS3 just fine.
The issue is that it plays the music in this folder in alphabetical order by artist name - no matter the order I have them listed in the folder on my PC.
How can I fix this and get my music to play in the order I want it to? Is this a PS3 setting?
Or is there another way I can do this?
I went to a lot of trouble to create this playlist for this party. I just want it to play in the order I have it! Its over 6 hours worth - I don't want to copy all this music to the PS3 - hubby would shoot me! (and I can't ask him how to do it because this party is a surprise bday party for him)

Thanks in Advance!
