I have a project with dozens of PDF or other document files. If I copy a bunch of these files to a flash drive using windows explorer they end up in random physical order on the flash drive. As long as I look at the files in Explorer they are sorted by name, date, whatever. But if I go to a command window and do a dir, the files are in random order. Is there not a DOS command that will let me perform a physical sort on the drive so that these files are placed in order by file name rather than just tossed out there? I dont just want to view the files in order, i want them to physically reside on the drive in order.
can anybody point me in the right direction, can it be done with some DOS sort command, or some other utility?
thanks
