how works the 'DIR redirection' ??

The  command:

DIR > myfile.txt - Takes the output of dir and re-routes it to the file myfile.txt instead of outputting it to the screen.

my question:
after wich pattern does is work? my portable MP3 player seems to run tracks according to this pattern, not after the alphanumeric sorting (renaming the files or giving them a sequential number does not help either)

hi,
not sure if i understand u correctly, but the pattern for dir is determine by dir command.

ie to sort by size of file dir /o:s

see dir /?
