Sometimes the simple (and primitive) things are better than the advanced and 
complex things. Just remember that Unix is based on simplicity. Before Unix 
everything was complex, but then Unix established simple concepts 
like "everything is a file".

There is a saying that can be used in daily life as well: "Keep it simple and 
stupid" (KISS).

Naming files in a specific order using the filenames is a simple but working 
solution. If you use the files on a mobile device where they are not meant to 
be transferred yet to another storage or shared with friends -- that's a KISS 
solution, I'd say...

Cheers,
Andreas
