If you aren't familiar with the command prompt this will seem strange to you but it's really very simple to do.

And rather useless since the discussion was about locating duplicate files. Sorting is rather useless when two copies of the same (or same name) file will have a different path. Not to mention the links I used to use for secondary authors would not show in the list but would break horribly if the file linked to was removed.
You could try forfiles /m *.epub /s >>epub.txt to save a listing of all epub filenames from the starting directory down to the text file epub.txt in the current directory -- the double quotes around each filename are easy enough to remove. Running in the root of a drive will give some access denied errors unless run as administrator.
