File Based Custom Sort Order

Post by tiago »

It seems I am not allowed to script such a thing so I'm posting this request here. Main feature would be the source plain .txt file be read globally in ways non-consecutive items being allowed. For instance:

c:\folder 1\item 5.txt
d:\folder 4\item 10.txt
d:\folder 4\item 2.txt
c:\folder 1\item 1.txt

will be ordered as
d:\folder 4\item 10.txt
d:\folder 4\item 2.txt

and
c:\folder 1\item 5.txt
c:\folder 1\item 1.txt

when respective folders 1 and 4 are visited.

This would certainly allow a transparent user control over everything custom ordained as well as, perhaps, integrating with Paper Folders with zero effort when it makes sense.

Why are you not allowed to script that?

Just do it! Ofc the automation would require something external but that's not hard to do as well...

I can't figure out any XYplorer scripting routine by which I could do this, let alone outsource this.

There is sortbylist. The rest is a simple parse on the .txt file for the necessary folder...
