(reported for CiderPress II 1.0.2)

When I want directory entries in a specific order, it would be very convenient to simply drag them into the desired position.

This would improve upon my current lengthy process :

  • make a temp directory (possibly in another CiderPress instance)
  • copy the entries one at a time into the temp, in the desired sequence
  • empty the original directory
  • bulk copy everything from the temp directory back into the original
  • delete the temp

This is particularly relevant for ProDOS bootstrapping, which looks for "the first" .SYSTEM file to autostart.

This one is on my list to do Someday. I'd need to implement sorting for the relevant filesystems (DOS, ProDOS, Pascal, probably not CP/M), then add CLI and GUI features that use it.

FWIW, you don't need to copy / delete / copy / delete. Dragging and dropping between directories moves the file. So it's actually: create dir, move files into dir, move files out of dir in desired order, delete dir.
