Several people have suggested using the DIR command.  None that I have
seen has suggested using DIR with the /B option, to list only the filenames
and none of the other information included by default.
  DIR can also do the sorting for you via the /O option; specifically, /ON
will sort by name.
  You probably don't want to include directories, system files, or hidden
files, so you want to use the /A option, specifically /A-RHD.

  So the full command is

DIR /B /A-RHD /ON path >file.ext

where "path" is the drive and folder you want to get the content names from,
and "file.ext" is the (path and) name of the file you want the sorted list
to be written to.
