Sort Files by Type with Category-Based Organization
Orderly turns file-type sorting into a readable rules-based workflow. Categories stay visible, reusable, and easy to extend into saved profiles or Explorer actions.
Why Orderly works here
Build the workflow once, test it in preview, then decide whether watching or auto-apply belongs on that folder.
Preview + undo
Every workflow starts with a visible plan and ends with a recoverable session.
Profiles + Explorer
Save repeatable folder logic and launch it from Windows Explorer when the same job comes back.
Watching + auto-apply
Folder watching and auto-apply are shipping features, but they stay scoped to the profiles and folders you configure.
Tray + diagnostics
System tray mode keeps recurring workflows accessible, while diagnostics and reporting stay available when you want support context.
Why this matters
Why
Sorting by type is simple in theory, but complex in real folders. A system keeps it consistent.
Orderly in context
This workflow can start as a manual preview, become a saved profile, and later extend into watched folders, auto-apply, or tray use without changing the core safeguards.
How it works
How
The workflow stays the same even when automation is involved: define it, review it, then decide whether a watched folder should run it.
Load folder → review categories → adjust rules → apply → save profile.
