   Alas, no.   
      
   It looks like the files are copied in the order in which they where put onto   
   the disk.   If you want to see that order, open a console window and do a   
   "dir *.mp3".  To *show* them in the order Explorer (by default) uses, use   
   "dir /one *.mp3"   
      
   You might want to use "dir /one /b *.mp3 > filelist.txt" to put a sorted   
   list of (just the) filenames into a file, and than iterate thru the names in   
   that file and copy them one-by-one :   
      
   - - - - - - -   
      
   @echo off   
   for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (filelist.txt) do (   
     echo line=%%a   
   )   
   - - - - - - -   
      
   (replace the "echo line=" part with the apropriate "copy" command)   
      
   Hope that helps.
