After hours of testing various approaches to sorting MP3 on a USB for a small mp3 player with little progress, DriveSort fixed the problem in less than a minute. When I opened the drive in DriveSort, I could immediately see why it wasn't working the way I expected and quickly resorted and solved the problem. Great!

DriveSort information
What is DriveSort?
DriveSort sorts the directory tables of a volume formated in FAT12/FAT16/FAT32. This sort orders the files in each folder according to their short or long names alphabetic order.
The majority of recent operating systems sort the files before showing them to the user, either by name, by size or by whatever the user choose. However, it is not always the case in embedded OSes on small portable devices like MP3 players. On these platforms, the lack of resources (CPU, memory) can lead the developper to make it display or play the files in the order in which they are on the disk.

This program sorted all the files on my MP3 player successfully! It did a really good job at it too.
