Just want to print folder listing.....

[webster]

XP Pro SP2.
Default Language: English-US
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just want to print folder listing.....but apparently cmd is not as
helpful as Linux terminal

I have folder full of files with NON-WESTERN file names (Chinese,
Japanese etc) --- How can I print/output the file list SORTED BY
NAME ?

PS: Tried browsing the directory in FireFox but the sort order is not
correct as done by Windows Explorer.
e.g:
20081205-$B?7J9(B-1-10.mp4
comes before
20081205-$B?7J9(B-1-2.mp4

add: Tried "Karen's Print Directory" tool --- it does not seem to
support unicode (sigh)

The sort order is correct. File names are text, not numbers, and 1 comes
before 2. You can work around this problem by modifying the second file,
and any others required to -1-02.mp4.

not according to Windows Explorer

I don't use Japanese characters, but if I create four dummy files with
the names
20081225-xxx-1-02.txt
20081225-xxx-1-2.txt
20081225-xxx-1-3.txt
20081225-xxx-1-10.txt
they show up in Explorer sorted by name as above, which I presume is
what you want.

However, if I display a directory listing from the command prompt, the
order is changed to
20081225-xxx-1-02.txt
20081225-xxx-1-10.txt
20081225-xxx-1-2.txt
20081225-xxx-1-3.txt
which is what I would expect when sorting text column by column.
I'm using Windows XP SP2.

Try Directory Report
http://www.file-utilities.com

It can print/save Unicode file names
and print many file attributes

I don't trust solutions that require you to edit your registry - risk
corrupting it

Hope this helps
