Nero Advice

Apologies, if this is obvious to some of you. I want to create a mix of mp3s for a party I'm having. I've downloaded the tracks from my albums, converted them to mp3s and put them in a folder on my desktop. No problems so far. However, when I try to burn them, Nero doen't burn them in the order I want them. I've tried rearranging them in the folder and adding the whole folder to Nero, and I've tried adding them individually ( slow). Either way when I come to write, the order has been changed. Can anyone please advise?
Thanks

    You could rename them so each track has a number at the start
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Thanks, when I try this I'm warned that the file may become unusable. Is this normal?

    You need to retain the filename extension and not just rename them to 001, 002

    e.g.

    001.mp3
    002.wma etc.

    or.

    001 - SongTitle.mp3
    002 - SongTitle.mp3
    003 - SongTitle.mp3
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
