Multi-column sort?

Is it possible to sort on multiple columns in a list view?
For example, show files in a folder sorted by ext first and then by date modified within extension.
Thanks.
Rick

Yes, it's called secondary sorting and you do it like this: Hold SHIFT when you click the secondary sort column ("modified" in your case).

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!
Just wondering...Why the razz

when you got a reply from Don in about 20 min? On many forums, you'd not get a reply from author in less than a day or two, if that...did you intend a positive smiley instead of a negative one? Hope so...

I'm sure, it looks like a happily smiling face. I had to look up "razz", and I'm sure I never ever heard or read that word anywhere. Can you make me a sample sentence with razz?

Wait a sec...you had to look up razz and you've never heard/read it? 'Cause when you hover that smiley, it's labeled as Razz so you must have seen it...The razz smiley is face is of someone sticking out their tongue...and it's used when you're not mad at someone but disagree and wish to express a bit of emotion about that.
Anyway, the happy faces are
The unhappy faces are

in order of increasing displeasure.

But you can't make a sentence with razz!

From a couple of web dictionaries:
To heckle or laugh at contemptuously. It comes from the word razzberry (raspberry), a sound of contempt made by protruding the tongue between the lips and expelling air forcibly to produce a vibration. Like what chimpanzees do
and this from another:
to deride; make fun of; tease.
with this as example:
to tease someone. : I was just razzing you. I didn't mean any harm.

OK. But is razz in your active vocabulary? Are you using it? Did you ever?

The other day I didn't know what to think about it, and avoided to use it. (I would have used it as something positive...

)
Now I just looked at dict.leo.org - it says:
Substantiv - nachahmender Laut der Verachtung
Verben - jemanden aufziehen
- jemanden hänseln
- jemanden nerven
OK: now I understand j_c ...
(I hope I will remember it

)

I've used it on occasion when giving a friend a hard time -- if they start to wonder if I mean it, I'll just say "Nah, I'm just razzing you about that." So it's not too uncommon over here in the US, but it's not as common as it used to be...

Same for me (as avsfan said)...I don't say it as much as I use the

on forums since I use it as the mildest form of 'unhappy' available by common smilies here...some forums have many more choices so one can be a bit more specific.

OK, I added a bunch of smilies to pimp your communication skills.
