Is there a way to combine the sorting of columns? Like "Sort by column 1 THEN by column 2" ?
I'm trying to do a duplicate file search between two folder (Primary and Secondary, each containing subfolders). But the search results can only be sorted by EITHER the duplicate column OR another column (Path, in my case).
I want to sort by the duplicate column (to group the duplicates together) THEN by the Path column so that I can use "select non-first item" and delete, so that I am only deleting from the secondary folder. As it is now, as soon as I sort by the Duplicate column, the Path column gets randomized so that sometimes it's the Primary at the top and sometimes it's the Secondary.
Is there a way to export the duplicate results to text? That way I can do some scripting to delete from only from the secondary?

Re: Combine Sort of Columns
SHIFT-click the column header for a secondary sort?
Report tab, Current List, [x] Column headers => To <choose one>?

Thanks. That solved it.
Re: Combine Sort of Columns
Hi there, I want to chime in because this is my use-case aswell. Funny that it's only yesterday that this question was asked because today I was looking for the exact same thing.
First off, I love this file explorer and it's seemingly endless possibilities. However, sorting by only two columns is not enough for me I would like to sort by duplicate-group, then by creation-date, then by modification date and then by path name.
I guess that's not possible right now, or is it?

Re: Combine Sort of Columns
No, there is only a first and a secondary sorting, scripting doesn't change that
