        A file sorting magician in your command line. Sorty sorts files in a

        folder by their extensions and organizes stuff. Sorty is built in Python

        and works cross platform.

        

        Why Sorty?

        ~~~~~~~~~~

        

        Sorty shouldn't be used in project folders or code folders. It's better

        for organising folders like Downloads, Pictures, Trip Media etc.

        

        For example, we download a lot of stuff in our computers. Most of the

        time, our download folder is a mess.

        

        But worry not because Sorty is here!. Sorty sorts your files based on

        your extensions and groups similar files together. So your program setup

        files are in one folder, your PDF documents are in one, and your

        downloaded songs are in another. You can then rename these folders to

        suit yourself.

        

        Another Example, whenever we go out for a holiday or a trip, we take a

        lot of pictures and videos. But when we import our files from our Camera

        or Smartphone, the videos and pictures are grouped together. And

        separating them takes time especially when we have many files. Again,

        Sorty to the rescue!. Sorty will group your videos separately and your

        pictures separately.

        

        Installation

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~

        

        Cross Platform

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        

        You need to have Python installed for this method. It will work on

        Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac OS X.

        

        Use ``pip`` to install:

        

        ::

        

            pip install sorty

        

        Installer

        ^^^^^^^^^

        

        The Installer is coming soon for Windows. It will be a small exe that

        you need to place in your system folder and you are good to go.

        

        Linux and Mac OS X don't get a compiled executable because Python is pre

        installed in these systems

        

        Usage

        ~~~~~

        

        Navigate to the Folder which you want to sort in your Terminal/Command

        Prompt

        

        Enter the following command:

        

        ::

        

            sorty

        

        And the Magic will start. By default Sorty does not sort files contained

        in subfolders but if you want that, just add the ``--topdown`` argument

        so that the command becomes:

        

        ::

        

            sorty --topdown

        

        Alternatively instead of navigating to the folder, you can let sorty do

        that for you using the ``directory`` argument.

        

        ::

        

            sorty -d "C:\Pictures" --topdown

        

        Dependencies

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~

        

        If you have Python >2.7 and >3.2 then there are no external

        dependencies. To Support Python 2.5 - 2.6 and 3.0 - 3.1, the

        ``argparse`` module is required. If you are installing using pip then

        don't worry, everything will be installed automatically.
