Xcopy file operation order
« on: November 30, 2007, 05:25:10 PM »
Hi, all:

May be a totally easy question, but I did look around a while for the answer and didn't happen upon it.

When you are Xcopy-ing a large collection of files from a set of directories on one drive to another, what order are they copied in? Doesn't seem to be alphabetical or time-of-creation or anything else I can deduce.

Thanks~~~

The specific instance was CMD in WinXP SP2, but I guess I would be curious if the order was in fact different from one version of XCOPY to the next as well.

Thanks for the welcome!
