Order of files

Hi

I've just recently bought a USB MP3 player, it doesn't have a display or anything fancy, it just holds the files and plays them
The files play in the order they were added, which made me think that I could write a program to change the files Modified date so I could easily change the order of the songs. I've tried changing the CreationTime, LastAccessTime and LastWriteTime, but non of these affect the order of the songs

I did notice though, that the order the songs play in, is exactly the same order as they come when I use the DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() to get the file list. Is there anyway I can change this order

Cheers
Jennifer

That should be the order in which they were originally written to the file
system. If so, then you could probably move or copy them to a different
folder in the order you wanted.
