Sort folders apart

Post by myrnalarson »

Just installed version 20.20.02. 'Sort folders apart' has always worked correctly in the past. With version 20.20, sorting by name, extension, and size work correctly.

However, when I sort by Date Modified or Date Created, folders are mixed in with the files.

I can send a screen capture, but that really wouldn't help much. I don't remember this happening yesterday. I rebooted, no change. I note that there was a big Windows 10 update the other day. I'm going to remove my XYP ini file and see if that changes anything.

I closed XYP, used Windows Explorer to change the extension on the .ini file.

It must be corrupted. Now the folders are kept together -- at the top if I sort by date ascending, at the bottom if I sort by date ascending.

Or you've used
Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | [x] Mixed sort on date columns
in your original config...

Yes, just discovered that. Must have changed it by accident.

Thanks for your help.

PS: Always wondered what was meant by 'mixed sort' :biggrin:
