Yesno. The "trick" is to only pass leave paths to the KIO::copy() urls parameter and \
resolve dirs to leaves internally by present sort logics.

It's however the far opposite of efficient - just assume there was a network invike - \
and an extreme cornercase, so one should have a dedicated tool (bash script or simple \
Qt application) to do it. Alternatively simply mkdir target/folder and copy the \
contents of the source directory instead of the directory (what will likely be \
sufficient in the described case to get a ripped folder into an mp3 player)

For a huge singleton copy operation to get an entire collection down, 5-10 lines bash \
at max should do.

Sth. along
dir="`realpath $1`"
for file in `ls -1 --sort=BlaFoo` $1; do if [ -d "$file" ]; then $0 "$dir/$file" \
"$2"; else cp "$file" "$2/$1/"; fi

Cheers,
Thomas
