FileActions - SortByName
Place the selected items and sort alphabetically by their full pathname,
ascending from A to Z or descending from Z to A.
- Items are not just sorted by their filename (for example "explorer.exe"), but
by their full pathname including all the folder names
(for excample "c:\windows\explorer.exe"). The result
is that all items that are in the same folder are placed in a block together
on disk, and inside that block they're sorted by their filename.
- If a file has multiple names (hard links) then the file is sorted
by the first name that happens to be mentioned in the FAT/MFT.
- This action will also defragment. It is therefore not necessary to combine it
with the
Defragment action.
- This action will create "wrap around" fragments. For more information see the
IgnoreWrapAroundFragmentation setting.
