I have developed a file naming convention which automatically sorts all my source files by surname, given names, and in event chronological sequence. I don't use surname folders as they are unnecessary. When I look in my Dropbox/Sources folder I can quickly find any file in the ordered filenames. I would like to do the same in my FS Source Box, but the files are NOT sequenced alphabetically. They seem to be just displayed in whatever sequence I added them.

Sometimes I wonder if I will lose access to the Dropbox files for whatever reason. I trust that my Source Box will always be safe though currently very cumbersome to use as I have over 1500 source documents. So my suggestion is to allow the Source Box filenames to be sorted alphabetically.
