   The order the files are copied is maybe not the same as in the   
   directory. That depends on the code which searches for a free   
   entry in the FAT table. To avoid a FAT with a large number of   
   deleted files, I suggested to first delete the directory and then   
   recreate it (or format the SD card if files are copied to the   
   root directory).
