 # sortplz
 
 _sortplz_ is a simple file sorter. It takes targeted files, and moves them to subdirectories for further review.
+
+**Usage:** sortplz -f _fromdir_ -t _todir_ -e _ext_
+
+## TODO
+
+- Sort by size
+- Sort by name, not extension
+- Colorful output
+- Verbosity flag
+- It'd be nice to have the files/extensions specified without a option.
