Auto updating sort

Post by BristolPete »

Okay you guys were so brilliant with my last question.
I am sorting my page by name, but if I rename a file it stays in the same place in the list. Is there anyway to switch on an auto update sort so that after renaming a program it automaticly reshuffles the file. I have the green AutoRefresh icon on my toolbar and I know I can do this by pressing this it does resort, but when your altering a lot of names (say to arrange files in usage order) it is abit of a pain pressing htis each time.
Any thoughts,
Thanks in advance.

Amazingly quick. Thanks.
I don't know what is wrong with me I had the configuration window open on that page and had gone down the list several times but didn't recognise this one for what it was.
Thanks again.

Most of the entries in the config window have a tooltip when you hover over them with the mouse...

Unfortunately, this one hasn't one :)

To find something specific in the config window, it can be a good idea to use the "Jump to setting..." button in the lower left corner as long as you have an idea how the setting is named...

Okay I've put the tick in the "Resort list immediately after rename" command line, but it doen't always do it and you have to do a manual resort (I often put a two digit number in front of a file to order them ready to incorporate them in a presentation).
Am I still doing something wrong?

Mh, but Menu - View - AutoRefresh is ticked, right?

Never seen that behavior...

Yes, double checked, auto-refresh is ticked on View menu.
If I go out of the folder and then back in it has resorted, but not if I just wait on it.
