I assume that the files on the 12 cd's are named similarly, hence the issue with sorting. If you are trying to have all of the files under Flash/ you could do bulk renames of the files under each 0/ - 11/ directory such that they reflect that directory structure (so all of the files under 0/ would be renamed to 00-<filename> and all of the files under 11/ would be renamed to 11-<filename>...then the sorting issue would be, pardon me, sorted.).
