Device: kindle dx
In a command prompt on windows

The resulting list will be sorted by author's name (Cornwell)
if the filenames on the Kindle show the following characteristics
in Windows Explorer :
Cornwell, Patricia - Modus Operandi.mobi

If however the name of the file is :
Modus Operandi - Cornwell Patricia.mobi
then the book will be alphabetically filed under Modus....


Connect your kindle via usb to your computer
(I'm on Windows 7, Kindle DX graphite)

Open command prompt
If the drive letter of your kindle is H, type :
cd /d H:\Documents
Then type :
Dir /ON /S /B > H:\nie.txt
The resulting file is H:\nie.txt on your Kindle
Open with notepad
And choose "Edit", and Replace
In the "find what" field, you type
H:\Documents\
In the "replace with" field, you type nothing.
Click "replace all"

The resulting file contains the books author + title + extension .mobi or stg else
To trim the extension : with Edit, Replace and ".mobi" in the "find what" field,
and nothing in the replace field, you can trim the extension
