Default Why when I select pictures 1 to 10, does Paint.NET order them capriciously?

Possibly ordering by date created/modified. See waht you get when you
use command line DIR.


That's a good point that we should look to see the DOS order.

Loading them, en massem into Paint 3D, I get 6 windows:
- bottom window = 00
- next window = 01
- next window = 05
- penultimate window = 02
- top window = 03
Testing a second time, I get a *different* order!
- bottom = 00
- next = 01
- next = 02
- next = 05
- next = 04
- top = 03

Running that through Paint.NET, I get:
- 00
- 02
- 03
- 05
- 01
- 04

Running that a second time through Paint.NET, I get:
- 00
- 03
- 04
- 05
- 01
- 02

One caveat I realized is that it _might_ matter which file we decide to
right click on to open all selected files. And Paul mentioned Windows
Defender, which I think is running on my system (but no AV is running).
