    Like any file system, files are sorted by either file name, date, size, etc. If you want a specific order for your files, sort alphbetically and then rename your files so they appear in the order you wish.

Thats the thing. If we cannot name it in that specific aplabetic manner,  we cant rearrange them in the order we wish them to be.

Why not allow flexiblity to cater to user's personal reason? Im suggesting to help improve.
