   Explorer is unable to show the files in the order they appear in the   
   file system. It will always sort by someting. You can not choose to   
   sort by nothing. As a result, it is completely the wrong tool for this   
   job.   
      
   When you copy a file, the modified time stamp is also copied, even   
   when you copy to a FAT file system. So, the time stamps in the   
   destination directory will not reflect the time the file was copied,   
   but in stead the time when the source file was last modified.   
      
   Try Herbert's CMD solution or my PowerShell solution, and then put the   
   card into your MP3 module. Don't bother with Explorer.
