What about the SORTING of selections of multiple items?
Authored by: gabester on Aug 10, '06 06:26:04AM

Can anyone explain the behavior of copying and pasting multiple items?

Example: I just created 4 folders in the Finder by doing "apple-shift-n":
untitled folder
untitled folder 2
untitled folder 3
untitled folder 4

Selecting all 4 of these, copying and pasting into both Mail and TextEdit (plain and rtf docs) results in the items being sorted as follows:

untitled folder
untitled folder 3
untitled folder 2
untitled folder 4

There are many other times when there doesn't seem to be a logical sort order to selections of items in the Finder...
