find output question

[mrlayance]

I used the following command

find /Mp3 -type f -name "*.mp3" > /opt/SHOUTcast/playlists/playlist.lst

The output is not in order? Any idea how to make the output arange alphabetically?

I know from reading some bash scripting stuff, there's some app which does that for you... I've gotta try and find it for you again.

What about this:

[$] sort < /opt/SHOUTcast/playlists/playlist.lst > /opt/SHOUTcast/playlists/sorted_playlist.lst

And as always, check the manual of sort with this:

[$] man sort

By the way, find doesn't has any option to sort its output, you have to do manually with the previous command.

Haha, there ya go. That's the command I was looking for. And to think, it was that obvious lol.
