## 项目历史与用法

FATSort is a small C utility for sorting directory entries on FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and exFAT filesystems. Its niche is practical rather than fashionable: it fixes the ordering seen by devices that read FAT directories in on-disk order instead of presenting their own sorted view.

### 项目历史

The official homepage says FATSort was originally written for a hardware MP3 player that did not sort MP3 files automatically, because no suitable utility existed at the time. That origin explains both the tool's narrow scope and its long maintenance life: it operates directly on filesystem directory structures rather than acting as a general file organizer.

The changelog shows a steady hardening cycle around filesystem correctness. FAT12 support appeared with the 1.0 release in 2013, exFAT support arrived in 1.6.0 in 2019, and later releases focused on endianness, locale, long-filename, multi-byte-character, and consistency checks.

### 采用历史

FATSort has remained a packaged Unix utility because its problem still appears on embedded devices, car stereos, cameras, and music players that expose FAT media. The official homepage notes inclusion in Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, and Gentoo, which is unusually broad distribution for such a specialized filesystem tool.

### 使用方式

Typical use is direct and low-level: run `fatsort [OPTIONS] DEVICE` against an unmounted FAT filesystem or block device, choosing sort order, reverse order, random order, modification-time order, locale handling, and directory inclusion or exclusion as needed. The man page emphasizes that it sorts the filesystem directory structure itself.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

For package-manager users, FATSort is the sort of tool that justifies a formula or distro package despite a tiny feature surface. It preserves a hardware-era workaround in a reproducible command-line form, with enough filesystem checks and portability fixes to be safer than one-off scripts.

### 时间线

- 2009: Changelog shows active 0.9.x maintenance by September 2009.
- 2013: FATSort 1.0 adds FAT12 support and stronger filesystem integrity checks.
- 2019: FATSort 1.6.0 adds exFAT support.
- 2025: FATSort 1.7 improves exFAT directory entry handling and string comparison performance.
- 2026: FATSort 1.7.1 ships bug fixes for string termination and version tests.

### Related projects

- FATSort sits beside FAT filesystem utilities rather than replacing them; it is concerned with directory-entry ordering, not formatting, checking, or repairing whole filesystems.
