That's a little out of my programming reach.  Maybe someone else with
some filesystem coding experience would like to take a stab at it.
Maybe as a userjob 4.

Personally, I prefer to organize my cards myself.  I have some shows I
like to watch as soon as I can (Jericho), some I like to watch once a
day or so (Star Trek TNG), and some I like to watch when the mood hits
me (Mysteries of the Deep, Deep Sea Detectives).  I only have to swap
files around once or twice a week.
