My iPhone is up-to-date with the latest iOS.

Whenever I either create a new playlist on my iPhone or import one from iTunes on my iMac, the playlist ALWAYS shuffles - no matter what and no matter where. Apple Music shows a shuffle icon, but regardless of how it's toggled, the music never follows the order I've specified. This hasn't always happened with this phone; I believe it began about 4 months ago or so.

This is independent of any peripherals (i.e., happens with just the external speaker and no cables or earbuds) and isn't affected by BlueTooth or wifi being enabled or disabled.

I've tried deleting all music and reimporting - no change.

Any ideas what is causing this mystery? It's driving me crazy - about to go back to burning CDs here...
 
Too bad that I don't use Apple Music and thus don't see such issue. I always buy from various sources or borrow.
