   There are many tricks to control the order of files.  One is what Paul   
   recommended about using numbers.  I use this to order procedures.   ie   
   100  may be the main procedure, 110 as procedure that support the main   
   procedure etc.   
      
   The one that I use to bring files to the top when they are sorted, is   
   the use of the special character.   Underscore _ will place be at the   
   top of a sorted dir name, file name, or shortcut name.  This one is nice   
   as it does not disguise the name.   
      
   It comes to the top because the ASKII character is less than any number   
   or letter.
