SUMMARY Please include a way to sort files on a USB drive formatted in Fat32 Currently when copying files to a USB drive formatted in Fat32 under Linux, the files are ordered the way they are first found and File Application Table is updated accordingly. This result is files being displayed in random order on devices such as car stereos, MP3 players etc. OBSERVED RESULT 03 Song.mp3 01 Song.mp3 02 Song.mp3 If you were to copy the same files with Windows, it automatically orders them as below. On Linux you need to use the command line utility - fatsort. EXPECTED RESULT 01 Song.mp3 02 Song.mp3 03 Song.mp3 Having a right click menu added on "Devices" to something like fatsort which can parse the drive path and other needed parameters to sort the file table. This would include having to - temperately unmount the drive first - allocating a parameter for the drive and path from lsblk i.e /dev/sdb1 - running fatsort with included parameters i.e sudo fatsort -n /dev/sdb1 - remounting the drive (if previously mounted) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS All versions ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Note there's various switches for the type of sorting i.e -n for "natural". Maybe include with the context menu another drop-down menu to select the type of sort to apply. Please refer to https://fatsort.sourceforge.io/
This seems worth considering
