   CD order problem
  I am writing files onto a CD-RW but I want the files in a specific order. Problem is the CD keeps wanting to put them in Alphabetical order and you cant rearange the files once they are on CD because they are read only. If I remove the read only tag from the folder I can rearange the files but as soon as I exit the folder the order is once again reverted to alphabetical. Anyone know how to preserve order?BTW: Windows XPthanks =)   
  I think the ISO9660/CDFS format demands that files be ordered in alphabetical order.The "view ordering" in XP is controlled by some sort of hidden file that keeps track of your preferences for each folder/window -- I don't think this is carried onto the ISO9660 attributes/filesystem. I think this is what you are asking?Windows probably stores this file in one of its system folders -- I believe OS X just makes an invisible file (.DS_Store) in the current directory which makes that work.   ;  HiI agree with Ravuya, I am not exactly sure with the standards, but as far as I know, unless it is for some very special reason that you want to store it in a diffrent order, just write the files, and then use the arrange by / sort by feature or just dragon in the order you want to sort the files,as far as i know, there is no performance diffrence or anything negative by storing files in a diffrent order.
