If Sort Folders Apart is checked, the custom column of the folders cannot be sorted

Post by Norn »

Not sure if this is an issue. If Sort Folders Apart is checked, the custom column of the folders cannot be sorted.

If uncheck Sort Folders Apart, it will be sorted by number, I can modify the script to sort, it would be better if it can be improved.

Maybe I did not understand what you mean, but I can sort folders by a custom column:

1) I checked this option:
Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort folders always ascending

2) If it can be improved, a custom column with random folder size:

Code: Select all

    case 2:                 return formatbytes(rand(0, 99999), "FLEX");
    case 3:                 return formatbytes(rand(99999, 999999), "FLEX");
    case 4:                 return formatbytes(rand(999999, 99999999), "FLEX");

You checked "Sort folders always ascending" and wonder why folders are not sorted? :eh:

Ah I see. Try Format "Bytes".

And change your script to:

Code: Select all

$state = rand(1, 5);
 switch ($state) {
  case 1:                 return 0;
  case 2:                 return rand(0, 99999);
  case 3:                 return rand(99999, 999999);
  case 4:                 return rand(999999, 99999999);
  case 5:                 return "99999999999";
 }
