If your iPhone isn't playing songs in order, it's likely due to the shuffle setting. To fix this, open the Music app and head to your playlist or album. Look for the 'Shuffle' button – it may look like two overlapping arrows. If it's highlighted, tap it to turn off shuffle play. This should return your song playback to its original, sequential order. Additionally, check your settings for any other related preferences that might affect the playback order.
