Directory sorting

[jupe]

Well then you would activate Manual sorting mode, arrange them how you want and then use a simple script to tag them all with a new updated index. Below I just knocked up a quick crude example, which you could enhance or adapt to suit.

I am using "Extra 5" just as an example:

Code: Select all

	$i = 0;
	foreach($item, <allitems |>) {	tagitems("ex5", $i++, $item);	}

There are probably faster ways to implement this than the above example if you are working with many files, this is only just to give you a quick basic idea of the concept, the execution is up to you.

You could change it to work on only the selected items or maybe? only the top 50 items etc. if you wanted, because maybe the sort of some items may not matter, you may only for example tag 10 items in a folder where there is 30 items, because only the top 10 items sort order is important, I don't know your exact use case.

That's right. You and I are programmers. We can use scripts.

What about HR? What about the teacher? What about the general staff in the company? ......

We can't solve problems from a programmer's point of view. We need to solve problems from an ordinary person's point of view.

The real problem is that the current function "Manual Sorting" is not very useful. It needs to be improved and strengthened.

If you know any other file manager that does what you need, use that one?

XYplorer is the best file management software.
I can't find a better one.

What you say is what programmers like to say most.

You are the only one complaining about the way manual sorting works (AFAIK), yet you claim that it is a problem for all non-programmers?!
I'm sure if more of them would come forward with their complaints, your wish for improvement of manual sorting could gain more momentum but please don't try to speak for others without their consent.
