Second Level Sub-Directory Sort Different Than Parent?

Post by nuit »

Hello, is there any way to custom set specific directories (folders) to a certain sort but all or some sub-directories to a different sort than the Parent directory?

Directory 1, sort by name
--- Sub-Directory 1, sort by date
---/---Sub-Sub-Directory, sort by type
--- Sub-Directory 2, sort by size

Possible?

Thanks!

Folder View Settings, but not depending on a specific root folder...

Thx for your reply!

Hmmm, I can't get that to work, but maybe I don't fully understand it yet. I'm after this result:

c:\folder1 <-- Sort by name
c:\folder1\sub-folder1 <<-- Sort files within by date
c:\folder1\sub-folder2 <<-- Sort files within by date
c:\folder1\sub-folder3 <<-- Sort files within by date

I tried using View, Folder View Settings and applying Sort by date to "c:\folder1\*" but that sorts c:\folder1 by date too, not name.

Suggestions?
