How about make option for "auto refresh" to not immediately resort files? Similar to how Windows Explorer behaves. So that new files are shown at the bottom of the list during the session--until we manually refresh or close/open the folder again. This manner of behavior is helpful in seperating the newly added files from existing files during a session.
I suggest adding a check box option called something like "don't resort files on auto refresh".
I know we can turn off "auto refresh" or use "suspend auto refresh" but toggling those too often is a hassle. I also don't like their current behavior because they don't detect newly added or deleted files.
"Don't resort files on auto refresh" option?

So I see this topic has come back up again! The last similar thread I found was http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3946 so we'll have to wait on Don for any updates to this.
BTW, this has become known as "Lazy Sort" here...

This is the only thing missing for me. I would purchase a license if it had this feature.
I can't use the program without it.
