wrongly ordered VIIRS couple upsets area chooser

Hi -
This is about area selection in two adjacent VIIRS granules with the area chooser. Looks like the order in which the granules are listed in the file selector determines the correct/bad behaviour of the area chooser. If the two files to be selected are listed in chronological order, i.e. the date/time information in the file names (*npp*d*t*) is increasing, then the area chooser works as expected. This always happens when you select the files straight from the file chooser (either in List or Details view).
However, when you are fiddling around in the List view and the file pair gets than listed in inverted order (date/time running backward) then the area chooser is corrupted like
I agree that choosing VIIRS granules from a time-inverted file list sounds a bit exotic, but in my case it makes sense. Anyway, I will now be able to correct for in the future, but I would still call it a bug. Wouldn't it be better to rely on the metadata of the granules, and not on files names, to determine the correct granule sequence?
cheers, HP
