FATSort is the successor to NexSort. The main difference between the two programs is that FATSort operates directly on the FAT of the drive. The FAT is the part of a disk which holds information of the files and folders on the disk.
FATSort is designed to change the order of the files on the disk. This is useful when a device lists the files on the drive without sorting them by any own criteria. Then the files will be listed in the same order as they were copied to the disk.
This program is especially designed for use with portable mp3-players, such as NEX II from Froniter Labs. Just mount the compact flash which holds your music-files and press start. Within seconds the operation is done and the files will be shown in the order you want on the player display.
Files will be reordered in one of three choices: Alphabetical order, Play list order or random order. Folders will be reordered in either alphabetical order or in random order.
The system requirements will be "discovered" when the program is done. It will probably only work in Windows 2000 though.
Also note that this program operates directly on the FAT of a drive. Any malfunction of this program may destroy any files on your disc.
