It's also a pain for language lessons or anything
where order is important.

I have found not "good" solution, except to add
the files, and then reverse them manually.

Good hint.

You can certainly create the playlist with something close --
from the player create the play list, select the files (by click or
drag), but this is the very thing that puts them in BACKWARDS.

I even tried selecting them backwards (many times) on the theory
it would reverse them. It didn't.

It seems to always include them in the reverse DIRECTORY order.

What's it cost? (I'll go look...) $9.95
