From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Unless there's more information on what kind of files and what kind or sorting needs to be done, this sounds like something that could be done with a simple shell script.
(I wouldn't trust an ai agent to do it with accuracy, but I'm the kind of luddite that doesn't trust an ai agent at all.)
Even 'ls' has an assload of sorting options - by last accessed time, last modified time, yadda
A simple shell or Perl script will do if you want to sort media files by metadata, an AI can easily code one up for you.
But you sure don't need to do a few billion matrix multiplications every time you do this sort routine.
