Accessing a mounted VFAT for this is probably not a good idea.
However, a userland solution should be possible and much easier than trying this from the kernel.
Look at the mtools package:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/mtools.html
where you should find tools that do such access already. Then, start hacking the mdir(1) tool, or some such, to sort the VFAT orders however you like them.
