Songs only play in alphabetical order on Apple Watch using Apple Music

If I choose a song from my library on my watch rather than my phone, and then press skip, it always goes to the next song in alphabetical order, not the way my library is sorted, which is in order of recently added. Interestingly, if I do the same but with my downloaded songs instead of my library, it does play in the order I sorted. Do you know how to fix this?

So far, the only way I've been able to get it to play in the correct order is by making sure you're not AirPlaying the music to your phone, but rather playing it directly from your watch to your AirPods/speaker. In the top right corner of the app, where there's a circle that takes you to the Now Playing view, it should show the device you are using to listen to the music instead of an image of an iPhone. Unfortunately, you lose the ability to seamlessly move to your phone and control the music there when doing this.
