[FearfulJesuit]

My maths teacher used to run a Magic: the Gathering club, which was canceled, and a few months ago I asked him about it and he said he didn't really want the cards (which were sitting in shoeboxes in a classroom) anymore. So I took the cards, and now I'd like to catalog them. There's probably about 2 or 3 thousand in that box, which is too much to catalog by writing down on paper. Instead, I'm wondering if there's a simple programme that can catalog them for me- ideally that was originally written for Magic, but not necessarily. I just need, for the most part, to be able to enter the name of a card, and it'll enter it into a list, or add 1 to the count if one was already entered, and then when I'm done it'll spit out the cards in alphabetical order with the number that I have next to them.

Anybody know of such a programme?

I don't know of a pre-existing one, but it sounds like a pretty simple thing to program.

When you say

I just need, for the most part, to be able to enter the name of a card

do you mean that you plan to enter all of them by hand? That'll take a long time anyway.

It seems to me that with the time it would take to enter all the details into a cataloguing program, you'd be better off by just putting them into alphabetical order yourself.

Try making a spreadsheet. e.g. in Gnumeric, then select all the rows and sort by the name field
