The only problem with your discovery it that it is operating on pure
luck! In other words, ones location in the BP file list has nothing to
do with where the next file is placed.

I've learned that if I go into the Book Port folder where I'm about to
upload files, then move the cursor down to the end of the list of
files,
the next ones load below the earlier ones in the folder. Ah, so much
for plain English explanations. Let me try again by offering an
example:
Let's say that on my Book Port, I have a folder labeled magazines.
Inside the magazines folder are three files--Choice Magazine, U.S.
News
for April 17, and Ellery Queen for May. Now let's assume that I've
digitized the June issue of another magazine, and I want it to appear
as
the last file in the magazines folder such that the oldest file is on
top and the newest file, my June issue of whatever, is at the bottom.
I'd do the Alt+D key combination once the Book Port was connected,
type
in magazines, tab into the folder itself and see my list of three
magazines. I'd then put the cursor at the last item in that list--the
May Ellery Queen. Then I'd issue an Alt+L keystroke to get back into
my
list of files ready for upload. I'd find that June magazine and send
it.
By using that method--always putting the cursor at the bottom of the
list in the folder--I've always managed to achieve a nicely sorted
folder. Of course, I'm pretty much constantly using the transfer
software, since I have to compress the files. I suspect all this is
moot and irrelevant for those of you who are card reader mavericks.
<smile> By the way, don't take offense at that term, please; I've
been
a card reader maverick more than once when it comes to putting music
and
other files on the Book Port. And of course, my method is probably
also
irrelevant for those of you doing batch sends.
