Using the "dir" command

[Hyperblaze]

I can't remember if this is possible or not...but is there a way to use the "dir" command in dos and display the listing in alphabetical order?

I can't exactly type "man dir".

yeah it did 🙂

dir /o:N

However, one thing which kinda left me perplexed.

if i do "dir /o:N > dirlist" and open up the file with "edit" I get the directory listing in alphabetical order.

However, if I open it up in notepad, wordpad, or word, it loses it's alphabetical order.
