Hi friend!
I have a question that is i want to organize my files according to the text file i have. That text file has all the files' name. Now i want to use that text file to organize my files. The files should be organized as in the order of that text file. Please tell me the appropriate command which can do that stuff for me. I use ubuntu 11.10 with 3.0.0.17 kernel.

Thank you.

You need to be more clear. What do you mean by "organize"?
If organize means arrange, You can simply list the filenames in an order, using ls command
