I do all 3 [C#, VB, or Java running on a PC]. In those languages, you'd read the dir contents into an array and then sort the array. If an array of that size didn't melt my PC down to slag, it would definitely make it unusable for hours.

In most modern languages, you should be able to read the directory
contents "lazily" and dump the entries into a table (which is what you
were proposing for RPG). It is hard to imagine that you couldn't do
this with C# or Java at least.

But I do agree with the recommendation for RTVDIRINF.
