Sort Files – Windows Context Menu Tool

This is a small Python tool for Windows that adds a “Sort Files” option to the right-click context menu, I build it many Years ago but never published it on Git, but now I found it on my PC and Published it :) .

Once installed, you can right-click any folder and automatically sort all files inside it into subfolders based on their file extensions.

Simple idea, big time saver.

How it works

After installation, Windows gets a new context menu entry:

Right click → Sort Files

When you click it, all files in the selected folder are moved into folders like Images, Documents, Audio, and more, depending on their file type.
