Hello

I'd like to order the files in directories internally... because my
autoradio (after copy to USB key) uses internal order!
Filesystem is vfat (:-() but if I can get to order files in the source
directory before copying datas to the USB key, it should solve the problem
as well => initial file system is a normal ext3 one.

How is the final copy to USB key done? Something like:

$ cp <wild_card_files> <USB_key>

I execute cp -r src_dir_name target_dir_name

If I execute
echo *
files appear sorted.

Following your question, I've tried
cp * target_dir
the order changes but files are still not sorted.

I also tried to copy files one by one into an empty directory =>
cp filename target_dir
as many times as I've got files (and of course in the order I'd
like to get ;-)), still, files are not sorted.
