Thanks for this tip, but I have had problems with this: when I copy 
everything in a listed folder like this and paste it the items get 
pasted in no specific order. It's not alphabetical, not reverse 
alphabetical, not creation time or any other known order, just 
random. So it's not useful at all for me, sadly.

This also means that the technique described won't list subfolders 
directly beneath it's containing folder, but somewhere beneath the 
list of the items at the top level. Very strange and unuseful...

I don't know what causes this, I use localised Finder (for Swedish 
users) but that doesn't seem to be the issue as the pasted order 
isn't correct in Swedish either...:-)

Anyone have any idea??
