Actually Windows sorts them into alphabetical order. Rename your files while in Windows Explorer. Put numbers such as 01 or 02 before the file name.

Hi Carin:

There is another work-around for this.

Windows, for some reason, does like to put the first file last when selecting multiple files. However, if you select the files in reverse order (bottom to top), you'll find they transfer in the correct order.

Don't know why this works, but, I've used it for a good while.

Hope this helps.

Maybe someone can set this stupidhead straight on this one point. Say you're sending a bunch of files that are in a folder. They are numbered and the order is important. You select them all and hit send. Why why why whywhywhywhy does BP transfer insist on putting the last file first in the list when they arrive? What can I do to make it think straight and put file no. 17 at the bottom of 17 files instead of the top?
