There is a software called as FileSieve. This tool will allow you to sort file and folders with this tool. It is quiet simpler like copy pasting file. You just need to chose the directory for the files to be sort and start the tool which generates a script for the process.There are many more things you can try in FleSieve. There are around 13 methods that you can try out.

Check the below quicksort in a batch file:

@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

call :qSort %*
for %%i in (%return%) do set results=!results! %%i
echo Sorted result: %results%
ENDLOCAL
goto :eof

:qSort
SETLOCAL
    set list=%*
    set size=0
    set less=
    set greater=
    for %%i in (%*) do set /a size=size+1
    if %size% LEQ 1 ENDLOCAL & set return=%list% & goto :eof
    for /f "tokens=2* delims== " %%i in ('set list') do set p=%%i & set body=%%j
    for %%x in (%body%) do (if %%x LEQ %p% (set less=%%x !less!) else (set greater=%%x !greater!))
    call :qSort %less%
    set sorted=%return%
    call :qSort %greater%
    set sorted=%sorted% %p% %return%
ENDLOCAL & set return=%sorted%
goto :eof

After that call it by giving it a set of numbers to sort on the command line, seperated by spaces. Example:

C:\dev\sorting>qsort.bat 1 3 5 1 12 3 47 3
Sorted result: 1 1 3 3 3 5 12 47
