    ProSel-16 Utilities will do all that easily.  The upper limit is around
700 files in a folder, I think.  I have successfully sorted my Fonts folder
(with 385 files) without any problem, and it takes only a few seconds.  You
can select one of the default sorting orders (alpha, date/time, type, etc.)
and then you can individually move files up and down using the OA-arrow keys.
