FATSORT - Console App for macOS Catalina

While this not a case for modern devices like iPhone, iPod or devices that Android base. However, this problem still exists on devices even at flagship car audio systems like Sony RSX-GS9.

There are a lot of other apps that can solve this problem, despite, FATSORT is the only one that can work at macOS.
