flash drive alphabetize

edited March 2011 in Hardware
hi !
I want to put some music on a flash drive,and keep it in the order that I wish.
every time I remove the drive , and then insert the drive --- it has arranged the songs alphabetically.

how can I stop that?

thanks

    Use folders to organize them better?

    Probably the only way that you can manage that would be to prepend numbers on the files so as to force alphabetical order to be the same as the order you want them to be in.

    I'm guessing you don't understand how file storage works as far as computers are concerned. Just because you put files on a drive in a certain order doesn't mean they're stored in that order. When you look at the files it's up to the software you're using to determine how and what order to display them in. I'm not familiar with any file browsers that will save and display files in an arbitrary, user-specified order. I know Windows explorer won't for sure.
