You can do this with XYplorer:
(1) Open the Catalog (Ctrl+F8)
(2) Right-click it and create a new Category
(3) Collect your files in that Category by drag-n-drop
(4) Now you can order them as you like inside the Category by drag-n-drop
(5) Right-click the Category and select "Copy All Items in Category"
(6) The items are now placed on the clipboard in the exact order you want
them to be in. Now you copy them to any target using the Paste command. They
will be copied in that order.
