   If needed, I could write a Win32 program for it myself.   Possibly a whole   
   GUI based program imitating File Explorer, or perhaps just a CLI one which   
   accepts a series of strings and uses the string compare File Explorer   
   usesfor sorting and outputs the result.  Again to be used by a(ny) scripting   
   language.   You know, it does just one thing, but it does it well (a linux   
   approach).   
      
   But now you say it, isn't it odd that File Explorer has one way of sorting,   
   the command line sorting one doesn't have seem to have a switch to emulate   
   it ?

   Programming languages do not get any better - but arguably worse - when they   
   stuff such tasks in single calls.   Bloated software suffering from feature   
   creep.   
      
   But in that regard I'm still waiting for the "make awsome program" button in   
   such programming languages.  A one-click, solves everything solution, which   
   can be used by the nitwittiest of nitwits.  :-)
