Folders re-order unintentionally?

Post by Bart »

I want to save a tabset with focus on custom column type Property and Format Age with the youngest file on top and at bottom the oldest. Plus: with the folders on top with order A -> Z.

I have set in Configuration -> General: [x] Sort folders Apart + [x] Keep folder on top and [ ] Sort folders always ascending.

If I click on the Age column, the alphabetic order of the folders also changes, from Z to A, while it should not re-order when clicking on the Age column, only remain on top.

Why not tick this then:
Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort folders always ascending

Because for some tabs I prefer the descending order as starting position.

I think this tweak should get the behavior you want,

SortImplicitNameOrder=1

for instructions on how to tweak:

It's a general tweak (there's nothing for you to change in that specific custom column):

Code: Select all

    + List Sorting: Added a tweak to control the order of the Name column when 
      the list is sorted by any other column. Wherever this other column has 
      blocks of equal strings the Name column is automatically used for 
      secondary (or on explicit secondary sorting: tertiary) sorting. This tweak 
      now lets you control its order:
        SortImplicitNameOrder=0  // 0=inherit (default), 1=ascending, -1=descending
