    Copy files in the "Last Date Modified" sequence


    So I want to copy files from my PC to Android phone in the "Last Date Modified" sequence.

    That is, the file in that folder was modified the first should get copied first.
    Then the file that was modified second, should get copied second.

    Is there any way to do this? Like with a tool or something?

    :)

  2. How to I get to scroll through my photos in file sequence, not randomly as at present?

    Having looked a bit further, it seems that the photo files on the phone are stored as if they are music files with music file attributes (track, artist, album etc). This means that "Date Taken" is not one of the available attributes on which to sequence.
    This makes the display by "Date" fairly meaningless as this will generally be the date they were copied to the phone.

  3. How do I search for a specific

    Using the File Explorer, I want to search for all files modified on a certain date in the past. The only options I see things like "yesterday, last week, last year, etc." I want to be able to search for all files modified on a certain date (ex. July
    12, 2015). How can I do this?

    Copy files in the "Last Date Modified" sequence

    You could do it with powershell like this.

    Code: $items = (Get-ChildItem -Path "Rootfilepath" -Recurse | Sort LastWriteTime) foreach($item in $items) { Copy-Item $item.FullName -Destination "Directory you want to copy to" }[/quote]

    [/quote] What directory should I put?
    The phone doesn't get a drive name because it's mounted in MTP mode.

    Yeah that is a problem. I guess you would need something like Home | MTP Drive
