It appears to me that XMMS does add files in the order they appear in 
the directory. Are you using 'ls -U' to turn off sorting when viewing 
the directory? If adding in a particular order is important then you 
could hack it by moving the files somewhere else and then moving them 
back into the target directory in the correct order. Using bash, 
something like:

mkdir bleh
mv *.mp3 bleh/
for i in `ls bleh/`;do mv $i ./;done
rmdir bleh
