Saved column layout not being applied

I have this layout, and then I save it by right-clicking on the column headers and then "Save column layout as...".
Then I add a column and change the ordering (the "save" notification is lingering from saving it a moment ago).
Then I load that just-saved layout, and although the added columns are correctly removed, the ordering isn't applied.
Why isn't the saved order being applied?

I already got scared that you're a bug magnet, but this one I cannot reproduce. Works fine here.

Oh, I did no read carefully. Truth is: Column Layout does not store the sort order.

Okay.
How then do I sort the following report by path? I don't see any sorting in the the report template options.
Code: Select all
loadsearch "All applications", rle; columnlayout("name_path_only__order_by_path"); writefile("C:\data_jeffy\app_settings\lenovo_windows_8_64bit_home_pc\all_installed_applications_CREATED_BY_XYPLORER.txt", report("{Fullname}<crlf>")); tab("close");

Excellent.
(I like XYplorer. Did I mention that?)

The final script, for future newbies:
Code: Select all
loadsearch "All installed applications", rle; columnlayout("name_path_only__order_by_path"); sortby "Path"; writefile("C:\data_jeffy\app_settings\lenovo_windows_8_64bit_home_pc\all_installed_applications_CREATED_BY_XYPLORER.txt", report("{Fullname}<crlf>")); tab("close"); exit;
Which is called via a batch file with
Code: Select all
call C:\applications\utilities\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe /ini /script="print_all_installed_applications_to_file"
(The "/ini" forces a new instance.) Or directly in the address bar, with:
Code: Select all
:: load "print_all_installed_applications_to_file"
This is a list of every installed application, as part of my automated computer backup.

Nice! (Although you might rename your column layout "name_path_only__order_by_path"...)
