I'd rather say in the order the filenames were written into the file (allocation) table, wich not necessarily need to correspond with the fielcreation time. However, as it is entirely up to the file system how to store these things, I would just forget worrying about this. What happens aftrer defragging a drive? what happens when you delete a file and rewcreate it right away, will the fileentry written into the same location or a different one? What is the filesystem, FAT, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, Linux? Why would you need this anyway?

You can always retrieve the filedates via KiXtart.

Maybe you should explain the underlying problem.
