I have a Sansa clip and I listen to audiobooks. And I have struggled with this issue.
The ID3 tags on audiobooks are often complete crap, or just plain missing, which can lead to this type of scrambling. The Clip has a separate folder for audiobooks. If you put the files in there, and they don't have ID3 tags, it will sort them by file and folder. Sometimes this does the trick. If you are ripping an audiobook from CDs, just leave the tags empty and name the files and folders well. It's less work, and more effective, than trying to make the tags work.
The other advantage of using the audiobook folder, is that if you also have music in the music folder, you can set it to play all and shuffle and not get pieces of your audiobooks mixed up in the shuffled music.
