BTW, do you object at changing the separator character from the current one to hex 01? The current one is actually > 255 and sort doesn't like that (in its option list). I looked at the java class and it seems to me any char will do, as long as it's guaranteed to not be part of the label.

An un-printable control character might be hard to find problems with.
Why not a printable one, which can not appear in a file or pathname?
":", "|", are two that are often used.
Where "|" might be a poor choice if the "action" can be a one-line script.
But the dir path separator ":" should be safe.
