I want to list all files in a whole directory tree.
They should be sorted by their filenames EXCLUDING (!) the path.

If I type e.g.

dir /A /S /B

all files are listed but they are sorted including the prepended path part.

How can I omit/suppress the path and list only the files (and sort them) ?

I consider a DOS command (under Win2000/WinXP) or alternatively
an external utility is acceptable as well as long as it works at the command prompt.

This is a little difficult to achieve: DOS is an operating
system, same as Windows or Linux, and there is definitely
no DOS under Windows. There is also not a single
command in Windows that will do exactly what you want.
However, you could use this batch file:

@echo off
if exist "%temp%\dir.tmp" del "%temp%\dir.tmp"
for /r %%a in (.) do (
echo Processing %%a
dir "%%a" /a-d /b | find /i /v "file not found" >> "%temp%\dir.tmp"
)
type "%temp%\dir.tmp" | sort > "%temp%\dir.txt"
type "%temp%\dir.txt" | more

DIR /s/o

Gives:
Directory of C:\CABS\Winxp\Dx9

You're an idiot for pretending not to know what the OP means.
Several DOS commands work in windows, plus a lot that MSDOS never
had. The names DOS vs Command Prompt are for people like you who
wish to creat confusion with newbies who don't know better. YOU
are the one who doesn't know any better though.

No discussion; it's a fact.
