Got a Data Traveller out and loaded the folder into it. Fired up the old trusty Acer laptop with the stick in and up the folder came in a way that you could understand. I shuffled the files around into the order i wanted and then fed the stick back into Windows 7. It was a different order; not the same as before but not what i wanted.
The stick now back to the laptop. I unloaded the folder onto My Documents and rearranged them there; cleared the stick and then loaded the My Docs copy into that. Back to the Windows 7 and still in the wrong order.
Then it twigged, they were in alpabetical order. They weren't when they started but they are now and nothing is going to change them.
My only chance, and it will take seven days being seven files is to modify the one I want to be first and the next day modify the one I want to be second, and so on. When that is finished I can arrange them in Chronological order which is one of the Window 7 options.
Unless anybody has any other ideas.
