Hi,
my files are sorted by size, then I search for duplicates and feed the results to the listbox.
But the results (group of duplicates) are not sorted by size.
If I sort them after feeding to listbox, the duplicates are not grouped anymore.
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you
Terka

Re: duplicates files sorting by size
The normal setting for finding duplicates is Same name and Same size.
So nothing to sort afterward.
If I remove the Same size condition duplicates are no longer real duplicates
and I don't see any benefit if I would sort the result by size.

"Same name", "Same size", "same content" are grouping methods rather than sort order. In this case you have groups and you can sort them using two sorting orders - inside group and global, f.e. global sort groups by file size and sort files inside any group by date.
As you see, it looks like well known examples from finances/bookkeeping.

Re: duplicates files sorting by size
Thank you for replies.
If many duplicates are found and I would like to deal with those which are the largest, I would like to see the largest at the beginning.
So I'm speaking about what Usher is speaking - inside the group is not important for me now, I'm speaking about the global sort by size.

Re: duplicates files sorting by size
I'd do an action like that directly in "Everything".
Menu "Tools" - "Options..." - "Indexes":
☑ Index file size
☑ Index folder size
…
Examples - Duplicated Files:
Enter the following parameters directly into the input line of "Everything" (1 line = 1 example).
Sorting:
- Right click on column headings
- ☑ Size
- Click on the column header of "Size" for descending/ascending sorting
Global sorting by size is guaranteed!
If you are interested in this solution with "Everything", you can have a look at some additional information here.
