They need to be named in a Windows friendly order:
a01.m2t, a02.m2t, a03.m2t, etc.

Already done that.

They do copy correctly when first added to "project media", rather than directly from the "Explorer" tab.

After selecting them, make sure you drag the FIRST one to the timeline. Whichever one you click and drag will always be added first.

jetdv,
Do you mean I click the first one, then Shift select the last, then drag ? For me this still gets the fist one on the timeline incorrect.

After you've selected them all, left click and hold down on the first one and drag to the timeline. The clip that appears first on the timeline is always the one that you left click on to drag.

Thanks. Got it. Why do they do stuff like that to make life more difficult ?

"Why do they do stuff like that to make life more difficult ? "

That would be a good question to ask Microsoft.

It's not more difficult, it's more choice. It's no extra effort at all to make sure you drag the first clip. In fact, what i normally do is click the last clip first, then shift-click the first, which leaves me with the mouse already on the first clip.

This method of having the clip dragged be the first one allows you to choose which clip you want to have first, even if it's not the first clip in the list.* So it's all about giving the user the power to do as he or she pleases, and it's not making things difficult at all.



*Although, i will admit, trying to come up with scenarios where one selects a group of items sorted alphabetically and wanting ONE clip out of order to be the first one while the rest follow in order after hasn't really resulted in many possibilities.

Exactly.

It's much easier to drag one clip to the front if needed.
