IFTTT for files

Basically i have a huge library of gameboy rooms that i want to organize into folders by alphabetical order, basically 30 files per folder and the folder name being the letter it corresponds to the alphabet (example: folder C-E that has 30 roms from C to E).

 

Maybe the latter its a long shot of a feture to have, but if i can at least place 30 roms per folder in alphabetical order, then rename the folders manually, i'm fine with.

 

open to any solution on both windows and linux, not mac because i don't have a mac.

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

i use to have the second best link in the world here, but it died ;_; its a 404 now but it will always be here

Just to understand, you want a program that'll take in X inputs and sort them alphabetically into groups of 30? 

What kind of input would the program get? A .txt file, or an Access database? 

the input is just files, roms in this particular case, but i don't want to manipulate the files itself, i just wanted to move them into groups of 30 and then put all those groups into a folder each.

 

honestly, this is just to not spend an hour in file explorer moving crap around

I don't know any software that currently exists, it probably does - but for me to code it, would take much longer than an hour, but you could probably find a software that does what you're looking for.

 

If you have files on your PC and within a  directory you can sort by alphabetical I think, then just Shift+Left click down 30 items and put them in a folder, rinse and repeat - that might not take too long
