Multiple files open up in wrong order...
Not a huge bug, but when opening multiple AI files in windows explorer, the last item selected opens first, then the remainder open in sorted order. For example, shift selecting files 1 through 15 and opening in AI will open up #15 first, then #1, #2, #3.... etc... To get the files to open in the correct order, you have to shift select 2 through 15, and then ctrl-select #1 so it's the last file selected. This doesn't really affect anything other than how tabs are ordered but it is annoying when working on multiple files and expecting the tabs to be opened in order.

Jeremy, when you do open these — do you just hit enter after making a selection of files? or do you drag-n-drop them into the app frame? If you drag-n-drop — which file do you drag by?
I am rechecking this behavior in Windows 10, selecting files 1-2-3 consecutively, followed with Enter... and I get a whole zoo!
Sometimes they open as 1-2-3, sometimes as 1-3-2, sometimes as 3-2-1, sometimes as 3-1-2! The same exact routine! And sometimes only 3-2 get opened, despite 1 is definitely in the selection.I have more uniformity and predictability if I drag-and-drop. The file I drag by gets opened first, and all others get opened in the descending order. So if I drag by 2, I get 2-1-3. And if by 1 — 1-2-3. Dragging by 3 gives me 3-1-2. So I learned the routine and control myself.
It does not mean it’s the correct way and Enter-way should be random. So voted.
