Sort folders by Date?

[kunkel321]

Hi, It is possible to sort files by date if I click on the TabStop Bar, on "Date." When I do this, I would like all sub-folders to also be sorted, Folders sorted by date, then under that, files sorted by date... Is his possible? Thanks.

Thanks Umbra.

Or make a button with cm_SwitchDirSort, which will toggle the directory-sort on and off.

is there an option to sort folders by date, when pressing the date tab,
but automatically switch back to folders sorted by name after you leave the current directory?

First set sorting of directories like files - https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/sordirslikefiles.png

Then define a View Mode ("Folders") that automatically sets sorting by name *cm_SrcByName - https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/autosortfolderbyname1.png

Then define a Auto Switch Mode for folders (here with drive letter for USB harddisk, USB stick, Harddisk/SSD og CD/DVD) and assign the "Folders" View Mode to it - https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/autosortfolderbyname2.png

hm, not 100%.
i have some locked tabs with different directories.
they are sorted by names ascending, but when i click in a subfolder and the new tab opens, its always sorted by names descending now??

and actually i wanted to keep everything sorted by date and the folders sorted by name. only when i press the date tab, also the folders should be sorted by date..
now with this in every directory the files are of course sorted by name also.. wasnt quite the plan.

I think you have to make a special View Mode + Auto Switch Mode for those specific folders, and remember to put it before the L1235 rule in the Auto Switch Mode setup.

The Auto run command for the View Mode for those folders should be: *cm_SrcByName 2 - to force ascending order.

That is not doable, but you can make a button with the command cm_SwitchDirSort to switch folder sorting between name sorting and the same sorting as the files (according to the tabheader).
