You should sort at source, ie when you execute the query. The last parameter is the one to specify your sort. For example:

sort_order = AudioColumns.ARTIST + " DESC, "
                    + AudioColumns.TRACK + " DESC";


context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
                        dataColumns,
                        selection, selectionArgs,
                        sort_order);
