Re: Copy file without sorting its contents

Yes, that would work. I guess I was hoping there was a way to turn off the
sort for those folders.

There is something else going on that I do not understand. See my reply to
Tim Slattery.

I have files under my picture folder which contain photographs I have
scanned in. They are grouped by the year they were taken. In each year
file
I manually rearranged them in chronological order. However, when I try
copying a year file to a flash drive for back-up, the pictures in the
target
file get sorted alphabetically. Is there a simple way I can keep the
pictures in the order I want?
Certainly. Give them a name that will sort the images in the manner that
you desire.
XP displays files in alphabetical order. Rearranging them does not change
the order.
If you want them sorted in chronological order, then rename them such that
an alphabetic sort will put the files in chronological order.
I save may files to a folders whose names are <alphabetic month><year>,.
Inside the folder, the files have names as mm-dd-yyyy-sequence number.
