I think it would be ideal if the user could specify whether they wanted the files alphabetized or not. Sometimes, I really want my files alphabetized. But there are other times when I'd like to choose the order they play in myself. Right now, if you transfer one file at a time, the new file is automatically the last one in the folder. This is nice when you want MP3s to play in a specific order, for example.

I would accept this being done on the PC prior to transfer.

This would actually be much more efficiently controlled on the PC if
that were acceptable.

If it wouldn't be a strain on the firmware, perhaps a sort order
setting in the bp settings menu might work so one could sort by name,
ext, date, size, etc.  I would bet people will have different
requirements at different times.

That is something we are looking at.

Larry have you given any thought to alphabetizing files in the list of
files presented on the book port?  In my opinion, that would make it a
lot easier to find files.  For example, if you were looking for a file
whose name began with "J," and you were already in the L's, you would
know you had gone to far.  As it is, you really don't know the order
of the files and sometimes have to arrow through the entire list to
find the one you are looking for.
Thanks.
