That's why I find myself working within Windows Explorer, and then wanting to use the dropdown to "pay in MC" or "Add to Paying in MC". When I do the former with a Folder selected, it doesn't preserve a Numeric ordering within the folder.
I can also fix the order after starting the Play In MC in less than a minute or so (which I would Likely have to do before tagging), but it's much less convenient than just having the files copy over in order. So I asked if there was a way to make the folder Play in the correct order.
The last couple of things I asked about were already possible, I just didn't know how. So maybe this one was, also?
After doing an Import that included the latest downloaded files/folders, I looked at "Recent Albums" to see if that was the desired solution.You really need to spend some time working on the basics (import, tagging, etc.) and reading the wiki. Otherwise, you'll probably continue to flounder and get frustrated. The time you invest will save you time in the future.
Well, it certainly allows me to show and sort "albums" on Date Modified, but the list seems very incomplete (one folder on the most recent day I downloaded, for example, compared with the six shown in the Windows Explorer listing), and some very interesting "names" and "albums" (which seem identical) that certainly pertain to the folder, but for which I have no idea of the provenance. (Maybe the originator had tagged them thus?)
Another question: some of the folders I download are arranged alphabetically (not the desired Play sequence), but when I "Play" them in MC, they appear to have been Tracked already in the correct play sequence. Nothing in the Context menu seems to permit telling MC to play this folder in Track order. Is this feature missing, or just another thing I haven't found yet?
I tried renaming the files to pad the numbers, and, for whatever reasons, this didn't work. Maybe because I had already played that folder the other way during this MC session? I don't know.
Here are some filenames from the folder that most recently copied alphanumerically (i.e., 1, 11, etc., 2, 21, etc., 3, 31. etc.) rather than 1,,2,3, . . . .20,21, . . .30, 31, . .

Now, if I could just find a way to get this to work with a file previously tracked by someone else! In fact, for that case, I get different (not in Track # order) results using 2a and 3a!
