GeneralDefrag Utility Wantedmember Michael Martin 22 Dec '12 - 22:45 
It needs to be standalone as I don't want to install it and it will be handy to use when fixing up idiots computers when installing is not wanted or impossible to do.
 
I have a bucket load of small USB drives that I keep in my car with MP3's on them. Occasionally I will buy enough albums of a particular artist/band that they get a stick of their own. When I do this it requires removing them from the Various artist sticks I have. My Alpine car stereo seems to read in the order the folders and files are stored on the drive and not by names of the folders.
 
I have been using JKDefrag as I don't want his newer MyDefrag that needs installing. There doesn't seem to be an option where I get to tell it how I want to defrag done.
 
Anyone got a recommendation?

Is that maybe not just a date issue? Just set the file/folder attributes to have the same dates. (Can be done easily with Total Commander)

I know about that site and did have a quick look through, but get overwhelmed by the number available.
