     * Since the files are *hardlinks*, we don't need to worry about using extra space.
     * You can safely delete the original, "unsorted" files and they will still be saved.
     * However, if you _modify_ (e.g. edit the PDF) the file, it will affect the one that has been sorted.
     * 
     * Anyways, this method is kind of janky. We're basically generating a bunch of shell commands:
     * - Create a `Sorted` folder
     * - Create a `Sorted/<category>` folder
     * - Hardlink the unsorted `<filename.pdf>` to `Sorted/<category>/<filename.pdf>`
