Re: [Ifp-driver-common] OT: IFP-700 w/USB firmware plays files inorder they were saved

[Anthony F. <ant...@ya...>]

One good solution is to use a program called fatsort afterwards. It will
reorders the FAT file system according to file name. From the README:

        FATSort is a utility to sort FAT16 and FAT32 partitions (I found
        FAT12 a little bit too complicated, so I didn't implement it).
        It even can handle long file name entries. It was developed
        because I wanted to sort my MP3 files on my MP3 hardware player.
        Unfortunetly, there was no utility out there so far, so I had to
        write it myself. FATSort reads the boot sector and sorts the
        directory structure. FATSort is released under GPL.
