NAME

fatsort - utility for sorting FAT directory structures

SYNOPSIS

fatsort [OPTIONS] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION

utility for sorting FAT directory structures

FATSort is a utility that sorts FAT16 and FAT32 partitions. It even can handle long file name entries. It reads the boot sector and sorts the directory structure recursively. This is for example useful for sorting the files on your MP3 player when it doesn't implement a sorting function itself.

Please note, that FATSort can damage your file system, if it is in a state of inconsistency! Use it with caution!
