Hi,
I have several USB flash drives (FAT32) with folders that have Names of Music Albums and in each folder the Songs are NOT in alphabetical order.
To make a duplicate of this flash drive (FAT32) and Copy everything into another flash drive (FAT32) in the same order (NOT alphabetical), is there
a way to do this, perhaps with an app that is NOT part of Windows?
Thank You in advance, John

OK, so you have the songs in the original order for the albums. That's
more than sensible! Some albums were designed and planned that way. And,
if you're like me, your head expects that order for your your
favourites. Imagine listening to a classical symphony with the movements
in random order!?
Personally, I'd use Macrium Reflect for this; clone from original drive
to a new one.

In MsDOS the dir command can display the files in the actual order they
have in the directory structure. This order is not related to the order
of the clusters that make up the files.
File management tools can display in this order if you select order: >unordered.
Music playing tools will normally sort all the names alphabetically and
play in that order; thus the creator takes care to number the tracks so
that the alphabetical order matches the order in which they should be
played.

Indeed. That's why most music programs ('rippers', etc.) use filenames like:
01 <songname>.<ext>
02 <songname>.<ext>
etc.
So it's probably best to first fix the source names and then copy the
files to the second USB memory-stick.
powershell
get-childItem | sort-object -prop lastWriteTimeUtc | forEach { "{0} {1}" -f $_.lastWriteTimeUtc.toString("yyyyMMddHHmmssffff"), $_.name } > dated.txt
vim dated.txt%s/\(freevpnservers_\)\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\)\(.*\)\(.ovpn\)/move \1\2\3\4 \2\4

I think COPY, XCOPY and ROBOCOPY never ever sorted the order of files
when copying files... but then I had never tried to find out.... :)

copy e:\*.* f:\
should do it (if the drive letters for the two flash drives are e: and f:
But I would prefix it with numbers, so they are also listed correctly in explorer.
set n=1000
for %%i in (e:\*.*) do (
call copy %%i f:\%%n%%_%%~ni
set /a n=n+1)
