FATSort

I've been using FATSort since around 2006. FATSort is an absolute requirement for mp3 players that play from external storage. The only option for playing an album with the tracks in the correct order is to make them sort correctly in FAT. This is the kind of project that serves a real need, but nobody knows why they need it!!!

This thing saved my life, thank you so much for making FATSort.

I am using Linux Mint v20.1-Cinnamon and installed this from the software repositories using 'sudo apt install fatsort' (or search for 'fatsort' in the 'Software Manager') and after it's installed and your device(MicroSD memory card etc) is connected, you simply run the following two commands... "umount /dev/sdX" and "sudo fatsort -n /dev/sdX" where the "X" is replaced with the location of your device/memory card using FAT32 etc. so for example... it might be /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc and so on. NOTE: I used this fatsort program so my AGPTEK-U3(8GB) MP3 player shows the MP3 files in proper order when browsing through the files/folders on the device itself where as before the order of the songs was random and not in order like you would typically expect to see when browsing in a typical file manager of ones OS (Linux/Windows), which was a bit annoying but this 'fatsort' fixed that problem. I tested it on a 16GB MicroSD card which I temporarily connected to a card reader which is connected to the USB port. I did not test this when connecting the device itself directly to the USB port but I imagine it would work similarly though.

Great tool!

Excellent tool. Thank you very much for this piece of software, it really works superb.
