Sorting those files reminds me a lot of two famous stories I heard when I was a child, namely those of Cinderella and Sisyphus. If you ever tried sorting a folder with 10000+ files you know what I mean. I always thought that it would be great to have a freeware that would help me presort the files and let me do the fine tuning afterwards.</p><p>Filesort is the freeware that I was looking for. Once downloaded and installed (it is only 100k) you simply pick a folder which files you want to sort and define some sorting rules. Filesort offers three different types of rules: File Name Rules, File Age Rules and File Size Rules. Click on new rule to add a new rule in one of the categories. If you wanted to move all mp3 movies you would add *.mp3 in the second tab of the new rule and enter a directory where those files should be placed instead.</p><p><span
id="more-911"></span>Simple and effective. The same rules can be defined for file ages and file size. This could be nice for p2p incoming folders for instance as well. The only thing that bothers me is that you can&#8217;t define more than one rule to work together. For instance I could not move all mp3 files that are older than seven days to the new folder. It is either all mp3 files or all files that are older than seven days.</p><p>Maybe this will be added to the tool in the future. You may even schedule <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/filesort/">Filesort</a> that it sorts files automatically every XX minutes.</p><p>Thanks to my reader P5chin for this nice tip.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2006/11/13/automatically-sort-files-with-filesort/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
