gdsort: sort the output of gdrive list

gdsort.sh

#!/bin/sh
# sort the output of gdrive list
# takes a folder_id as argument, returns a sorted list of items in the corresponding folder
# TODO: sort by item title while keeping the id in the output
#
if [ $# = 0 ]; then
echo -e "you must provide a folder_id\nType -h or --help for details"
exit 0
fi
if [ $1 = "-h" ] || [ $1 = "--help" ]
then
echo -e "`basename $0` takes a folder_id and returns a sorted list \nfrom the output of \"gdrive list -q <folder_id>.\"\nUse \"root\" as an alias for the root's folder_id"
exit 0
fi

folder_id=$1

gdrive.exe list -n -q "'$folder_id' in parents" | sed -r 's/0B_.{26}//g' | sort

A little shell wrapper script around the excellent golang gdrive Google drive command-line client. A future (better) version would have the option to keep the Id column in the output. Also, it would be nice to have untruncated titles, but this depends on gdrive itself.
