   In addition to your latest reply to me up thread, this appears to   
   confirm that, unlike JJ, you did not accurately understand my stated   
   problem.   
      
   I did say it "will probably seem a rather obscure request" but...   
   Did you even take a look at the link I posted? For example this   
   important note about the central issue:   
   -------------------   
   "NOTE: The order you copy the mp3 into micro SD card will affect the   
   order mp3 played , which means play(1) function will play the first mp3   
   copied into micro SD card.'   
   --------------------   
   So here's my attempt at re-wording:   
   GIVEN the way that this module behaves, I was looking (as I have been   
   for a couple of years) for some way to ensure that files were physically   
   copied to an SD  in the order they were displayed on the PC in File   
   Explorer. NOT describing some bizarre behaviour of File Explorer.
