Copy 1, Delete, Copy2

[mr-es335]

Good day,

I am curious to discover why a "Copy 1, Delete, Copy2" process functions differently when launched singly...one-after-the-other - or combined together in a single script?
• This is particularly relevant when performing the "Copy 1, Delete, Copy2" process to the User Quick Launch.

Say there are three scripts, 1) Copy1, 2) Delete, and 3) Copy2

Example 1: I copy two data files [L1 and E1] to QL...all of which I want in that order.
• I then delete that data
• I then copy three data files [P2, L1 and E1] to the QL..also...all of which I want in that order.
• Status: Ok!. The data file are listed as P2, L1 and E1

Example 2: I then create a single script combining the three scripts, 1) Copy1, 2) Delete, and 3) Copy2.
• Status: Not Ok!. The data file are listed as L1, E1 and P2?!?

Any idea why this anomaly is occurring?

UPDATE!!: In the combined script, if I place a Sleep(1000) command between Delete, and Copy2, the order is maintained...that is, P2, L1 and E1?!?
• Copy1, Delete, Sleep(1500), Copy2.
• Anything less than 1000 does not work!!

Since nobody answered, can you please provide code so we can understand what you're trying to do?
What do you mean by order? Do you mean they are in a different order when sorting by date modified?
