This is a tutorial on how to use
FATSort to alphabetize your Memory cards for your Supercard.

How to do it1. First off, download
FATSort here, updated to 1.0.5 (with invert function).
2. Open and extract it to your memory card
- a) Then right click on the file FATSort.exe and click on properties.
- b) At the bottom, check the hidden box and click OK. This will hide the file on the memory card when you are in certain programs like Moonshell, that list the files on the memory card.

You will want to make sure to choose alphabetical for the
File sort options and the
Directory sort options.
NOTE: If you are using Supercard firmware v1.7 or higher, you will want to check the
Invert sort that is directly below the file sort options so you directory will continue to be A to Z. Due to the changes in SC firmware, A to Z sorting now requires it to be inverted.
As a reminder, if you are using supercards, you will want to format your SD card FAT (FAT16)
not FAT32.
Next you need to
Select drive by using the pull down menu and choose your memory card location.

Then choose the
Start button.
The whole process takes approximately 5 seconds or less. When completed just close by clicking the X in the top right corner.
Now your memory card is ready to go, totally alphabetized to your needs.
This process is superior and easier than the old method of moving files off your memory card to your pc, then copy them in the order you want them to show up in the Supercard menu.
