    When I drag a group of clips, about 50 or so, from the viewer and onto the timeline, they do not stay in order. Clip 5 will be at the end of the sequence, while 23 will be at the beginning.

    Has anyone had any problems like this? Seems kind of weird.

    There’s a way to do this but you have to have the Browswer in icon mode, not any of the list modes. It’s in the manual but I’m not on my FCP machine to look it up or test it for you.

    You need to use the leading zeroes. Clip 005 not Clip 5, otherwise the “2” in 23 will sort ahead of clip 5…get it?

    The Mac OS 9 Finder was like this too.

    I should have been clearer with my situation.

    When I use the DV start/stop detect to separate a captured tape into individual clips, and then drag them to the timeline, they are not in order.
