Better tar file compression by sorting similar files together

supertar.sh

# Compression can be improved when files with the same or similar content 
# are next to each other in the file list.
# 
# This command sorts by reversed filenames, which places files
# together by file extension, filename and path, in that order.

# identify all files
find mypath/ -type f |
rev | sort | rev | 
tar --no-recursion --files-from=- -cvzf myarchive.tar.gz
