   I think the explorer works this way.   
      
   In the source directory enter this command   
   (replace d:\ with your destination; when used   
   in a batch you have to use %%i instead of %i):   
      
   for /f %i in ('dir /b /on *.mp3') do copy %i d:\   
      
   If you still get the wrong order, it is bot because   
   of the copy process but the destination directory.   
   First erase the destination directory and then create   
   it again. Or if it is the root directory, format   
   the SD card before copying the files.
