Shuffle Mode - How to Turn off

I have a new Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music watch. When I went out hiking and trying to listen to an audiobook I noticed the default play mode is to shuffle, which is problematic to say the least with books. I see the shuffle icon below the main controls (see image), but clicking that does not cause the watch to play tracks sequentially. Does anyone know how to get the watch to play tracks in order without shuffling? (This would be useful, too, when I want to listen to an album in track sequence).

I think I had a similar issue and the workaround was to play a music playlist so that shuffle mode could be changed then go back to audiobook when you've disabled the shuffling.

Thanks, Dan. I can try that. I'm also curious how to do it without a playlist if that is possible.

I think any kind of music should do it, just play an album (instead of a playlist) to get access to the shuffle feature.

Thanks. I'll try that too to see if it plays tracks in the order in the audiobook.
