Directory listing batch file

I have this batch file code 

dir /a:d /s /b | sort

I can't seem to get it to output the information to a text file. I tried this

dir /a:d/s/b/o:n | sort > Folder Listing.txt

but nothing happens. I can get the command prompt to pause on screen by doing 

dir /a:d /s /b | sort
pause

If you want your listing to go into a file called Folder Listing.txt, you need to enclose it in double quotes:

dir /a:d /s /b /o:n | sort > "Folder Listing.txt"

This is valid for most if not all operations on the Windows shell which involve file names containing spaces.
