If sorting by filename is sufficient Linux actually has a tool for that
called fatsort (http://fatsort.sourceforge.net/). It orders the entries in
the FAT table based on the filenames and allows to move directories before
or after the files as well.

Yesno. The &quot;trick&quot; is to only pass leave paths to the KIO::copy() urls \
parameter and resolve dirs to leaves internally by present sort logics.<br> <br>
It&#39;s however the far opposite of efficient - just assume there was a network \
invike - and an extreme cornercase, so one should have a dedicated tool (bash script \
or simple Qt application) to do it. Alternatively simply mkdir target/folder and copy \
the contents of the source directory instead of the directory (what will likely be \
sufficient in the described case to get a ripped folder into an mp3 player)<br>

<br>
For a huge singleton copy operation to get an entire collection down, 5-10 lines bash \
at max should do.<br> <br>
Sth. along<br>
dir=&quot;`realpath $1`&quot;<br>
for file in `ls -1 --sort=BlaFoo` $1; do if [ -d &quot;$file&quot; ]; then $0 \
&quot;$dir/$file&quot; &quot;$2&quot;; else cp &quot;$file&quot; &quot;$2/$1/&quot;; \
