    Description

      CH currently uses order found while traversing directory as the order to copy files (it usually means order in which files appeared in directory in the first place). This way it is usually faster (than when sorting by name), because of on-disk layout of data. When copying a folder with large files, like a complete season of Lost, I would like to download the first file (or first episode) first. This can be done manually, but that's quite some work. It would be great if, when starting a copy operation, there were a check-box for 'copy files sorted by name'. Or maybe CH can automatically deside that for a folder lager than say 1Gb the time to sort the files is very low in comparison to the total copy time.
