How can I create partitions respecting the directory name in alphabatical order? #54

I would like to split a directory "photos" into partitions, each of which should be 4.4GB, so that I can burn them to DVDs. The files inside it are organized with the directory hierarchy as follow:

......
./photos/2015-02-15-Meeting-With-Friends/
./photos/2015-02-15-Meeting-With-Friends/videos/
./photos/2015-02-18-Family-Trip/
.......
./photos/2020-04-26-Tim-Birthday/
./photos/2020-06-10-Anthony-Birthday/
./photos/2020-06-10-Anthony-Birthday/videos/
./photos/2020-06-10-Anthony-Birthday/memo/
......

How can I create partitions respecting the directory name, so that the partition content would be grouped by date according to the directory name? Also I am still unable to get mkisofs or xorrisofs to work with the partition files generated by fpart. Would you recommend some tips? Thanks!
