Text files not opened in specified order with Batch File

Hi,

I have batch like the one below:

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00625\File1.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00626\File2.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00630\File3.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00635\File4.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00636\File5.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00640\File6.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00645\File7.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00650\File8.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00670\File9.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00680\File10.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00685\File11.999"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Temp\0331\S00695\File12.999"

It opens 1 instance of NotePad++ (similar like UltraEdit but FREE) and opens each of the above files (I've associated extension .999 to NotePad++) as tabs within the application but it opens them in any kind of order (9,8,1,6,2,10,3, etc, etc) and not in the order I've specified above (File1.999, then File2.999, then File3.999, etc, etc).

What additional syntax is needed for NotePad++ to open them sequentially (as I've instructed in the commands) in 1 instance?

Thanks
