Thanks for the reply. In answer to your question the files were named
01 track.mp3
etc
I have just reproduced it with a different set of files.
I have reproduced with 12 files named
01-jerry_kilgore-whats_it_take_to_get_a_drink_in_here.mp3
up to
12-jerry_kilgore-lookin_for_a_highway.mp3
ie 12 (legally bought!) tracks
renaming these 12 at once to Track (01) ...Track (12) yes the renames are
out of order eg track (01) is now the original '12 jerry kilgore...' etc
Edit -> undo rename undoes the rename and the tracks are back in the correct
order
