P2 MXF Clip Naming and PPro CS3

Hey gang!

I've been searching these threads and can't seem to find an answer or solution to my issue.

I'm importing P2 MXF footage into PPro CS3. The clips all retain the original MXF file naming structure. I used Barry Green's tutorial on recording MetaData directly to each shot with the HVX200 with unique clip names but PPro CS3 is only looking at the MXF file name.

It's driving me nuts having to index my clips manually based on the funky MXF naming. Is there a way to tell PPro to look at the clip name or user clip name while importing P2/MXF clips?

The biggest issue I'm having besides having to rename each clip in PPro is the clips are not coming into PPro in the order they were shot or by time code. They are coming into PPro based on the MXF name.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
