Well i needed to select and move out several ranges out of 12.000+ files with (shell filename expansion) selectors like [A-L]* or [100..900]*  and there were several minor lettered ranges and what's with 100 vs 1001 and so on and on ... so it was also also a question of how that gets sorted.

I would have preferred to select the file ranges one after the other with mc because with so many files, very long listings get visually confusing and you an easily overlook things.

Bu when i needed to check what exactly i was selecting first in shell, i just did the movings in shell anyway, at the end. But it's good to know i can do this with mc too, it will come in handy i'm sure.
