Thanks. I found fatsort there too (see other mail)

I am using Linux (u Ubuntu desktop). The recorder/player came only
with a toaster with some scribbling on it ("Microsoft Windows" etc.)
It is under my coffee mug now.
It was an utility + understanding problem. I was not sure what caused
the random playlist order - creation time? Directory order?
It seems to be directory order + a MSGLIST.MSF file (created after
scanning a SD card using the directory order)
The MSGLIST.MSF was created after my first copy in random order (tar
-cf - . | tar -xf -C /mnt) and most likely not updated after I copied
second time, this time in sorted order.
Thanks
Peter
