   This will sort by name:  dir /b /o:n   
      
   The unsorted dir listings is an issue with FAT32/16/12, and NTFS sorts files   
   alphabetically by default.   
      
      
   Another thing to watch is if acc* is a set of .txt files then make the target   
   file a different extension   
   and rename it after the command.  This gets around a bug in for-in-do.
