Summary: [Feature Request] USB Fat32 File Sorting
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First unspecified

Platform: unspecified

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.
