By the way, Drive Sort or any of the applications listed here can sort mp3 files according to their file names.

What this means, for me, is that the music side of my program already exists. Since the idea of something to auto-delete notices, on a non-rooted Kindle, is still, as far as I know, original, I'll go for that.
Trying, with my Vista 32 bit PC, six of the eight programs on your last link above, against my Kindle Keyboard 3G, still at firmware version 3.1, here was my experience, going from bad to good:
FatSort 1.0.6 - I could not get this to work. Maybe it requires an old PC using FAT, such as one running Windows 98.
MP3DirSorter 1.0 - Strange user interface. I could not get it working.
FatSorter 1.0.4 - Works, but only sorts ascending by name.
FatSorter AKA Alphanumeric Fat Sorter 1.0 - Works. Only sorts ascending by name. Has possibly unique feature that is really good, or really bad, depending on your needs: It realizes track 7xxx.mp3 goes before 10xxx.mp3.
Drive Sort - Works. Sorts by name, ascending or descending. No shuffle/randomize feature.
Re-Organize! 2.3.1 - This is the one I recommend. It does everything I might want in terms of organizing the music on my Kindle, other than to do it while disconnected from a PC. You can sort by name, or by file date, or randomize, or drag and drop to put MP3's in the exact order desired.
I didn't test the other two programs. FATSortUtility requires Linux, which I don't have. YAFS sounds flexible but has a command-line interface that looked time-consuming.
