It takes a lot of resources to handle file sorting "on the fly" on an underpowered device like the Gameboy - Initially on release, the EZFlash Jr would sort files and folder alphabetically but people complained about the slow interface and they have since updated the kernel to removes alphabetical sorting, making the interface a lot snappier.

For this reason, all GB Flashcards do not sort the files by name, but display them in the order they are written to the FAT.

There are tools out there that can sort the entries in your FAT alphabetically, though. "fat sorter" would be one specifically for windows, but there's likely applications for linux or mac as well.

This makes total sense and I have found a utility called DriveSort

Thanks again for the detailed reply.

On a PC you can point a program called 'Bulk File Changer' to your SD cards and have it change date/time created properties in alphabetical order. I used this for PSP A-Z folders and ISOs inside them
Google Bulk File Changer tutorial PSP. I think I learned of it from a youtube tutorial
