Some programs need to have files in a particular order within a directory. However, Explorer always shows you a sorted view which will usually bear no relation to the actual sort order of the folder concerned (use a DOS box to do a DIR in the folder and see the difference - providing you haven't used the DIRCMD environment variable to make DIR use a sorted listing). Even when you have files physically sorted in a folder, a simple operation like renaming a file can actually change this order (again, try a DOS DIR before and after a renaming operation). This utility will sort files in one of four ways - by name, by name (reversed order), by extension or by extension (reversed order). Plenty of utilities to do this existed for DOS/Win3.1 but with the rise of long filenames and 32-bit FATs these utilities have become useless - and a quick search for Win95 versions found there to be only a few such utilities which were all shareware. Considering how much effort is needed to write such a utility, I think that's daylight robbery, so here we are - a freeware one.
