Copy In Order

Copy In Order is a lightweight and portable piece of software that can copy files from one location to another in alphabetical order. For example, it comes in handy when copying music to an external device, since the Windows default copy function does not always take the order into account.

Portability advantages

As there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the executable file in any part of the hard disk and just click it to run, as well as save Copy In Order to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, in order to directly run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.
An important factor worth taking into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not get updated with new entries, and no extra files are created on the disk, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

Simple interface and options

The GUI is made of a single window with a classical appearance that does not put too much emphasis on looks, although it is easy to navigate. So, you can drop files into the main frame while navigating directories in Explorer, specify a destination path, and set the tool to copy them with the click of a button.

Customize the copying procedure

It is possible to establish additional rules before copying the files, however. The app can overwrite any existing files, first transfer files and then folders, delete the output directory if it does not exist in the source path, move the files instead of copying them, as well as take into account only specific types of files to copy, defined by the user. Furthermore, Copy In Order lets you check available space on the destination disk as well as create a BAT file.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no kind of issues in our tests, since Copy In Order did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It is very responsive to commands and does not take a long time to copy files. It runs on low system resources. All in all, Copy In Order serves its purpose and features a handy set of configuration settings.
