sortui

sortui is a command-line utility designed to help users sort and organize files based on their content or metadata. It offers a flexible approach to file management, allowing for custom sorting criteria beyond typical alphabetical or date-based methods. The tool can analyze file types, extract specific information such as image dimensions, audio tags, or document metadata, and then use this extracted data to determine the order of files.

Users can typically configure sortui through configuration files or command-line arguments. This enables the definition of complex sorting rules, such as grouping files by year and month extracted from their EXIF data, or sorting code files by their programming language. The output of sortui can be a list of sorted filenames, or it can be used to directly rename or move files according to the defined sorting logic. This makes it a powerful tool for individuals who deal with large collections of unstructured data and require automated methods for organization. Its primary audience includes developers, researchers, and digital archivists.
