Please add an option to automatically add all the files in a playlist in VLC when we open a file from the Windows file explorer(with default windows sort order).
Please add this feature, its very annoying to go to file explorer every time or selecting each files.

you can select the options "allow only one instance" and "Enqueue items into playlist in one instance mode" in tools > preferences > Interface > "Playlist and instances"

I don't want to enqueue items manually, that's a pretty useless feature.
I want something like enqueue all the files in the folder automatically when we open a file from explorer (just like in all video players of windows like movies & TV, MPC, pot player, smplayer etc...)

you mean this?
