First track turns up last when selecting multiple tracks

When creating a new playlist with multiple files or series of cues in the Editor Window, I select multiple files and hit Open. For some reason SCS sometimes puts the first file selected in the list as the last file in the playlist or cue in the cue list. This is in 11.2.5 using either Win 7 64-bit or Win 8.1 64-bit.

I've noticed that! I thought it was just Windows being weird ;-)

It does appear to be partly due to 'Windows being weird'. I've had similar issues using Windows Media Player when wanting to burn some files to a CD - I've often had to move the last file to the top of the list - where it should have been. I've run some more tests with Windows Media Player and SCS on my Windows 7 development machine. The first couple of tests did have the problem you reported, but in later tests the order seemed to correct. I've just tested this again, with both audio file cues and playlists, and the order has been correct every time. I'll have a look at the relevant code in the program to see if I can find a cause for the occasional 'first file' issue, and why the order is sometimes incorrect.
