Normally, Windows sorts files alphabetically when enumerating a directory from the command prompt. I have several tools and batch files I have created over the years to do various batch operations to all the files in a folder. Many of these tools rely on the fact that the operating system enumerates the folders alphabetically. With DrivePool, this is not the case. When enumerating a folder on a DrivePool volume, if the files in that folder span multiple drives, each individual drives files will be sorted alphabetically, but it will start over as it goes from drive to drive.

Normally, Windows sorts files alphabetically when enumerating a directory from the command prompt. I have several tools and batch files I have created over the years to do various batch operations to all the files in a folder. Many of these tools rely on the fact that the operating system enumerates the folders alphabetically. With DrivePool, this is not the case. When enumerating a folder on a DrivePool volume, if the files in that folder span multiple drives, each individual drives files will be sorted alphabetically, but it will start over as it goes from drive to drive.
Is this a bug or a limitation of DrivePool?
