   Really! I will have to check again.  I may have been misled because the   
   sort subparamenters don't list unsorted.  While TCC/LE lists unsorted as

   So that would make using NTFS a bad idea for me when I need them to be   
   played in date order, oldest first, right?   
      
   I was using-FAT 32.
