[SOLVED] sort files/folder by date in certain directory

[fdsazcw123]

hi, need some help here, much appreciated.

in the windows recent folder (c:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\ ), i hope it could be sort by date, so the latest opened files or folder in the top of the list.

although i click sort by date, but next time i open recent folder, it will back to sort by name again, so is there any way can fix this.

what i want is that only in recent folder it will sort by date, keep the rest still sort by name as default.

thanks and stay safe!

Make a View mode and an Auto Switch entry for it.

Make a View mode and an Auto Switch entry for it.

Example
- Configuration -> View mode -> Add...: Sort_descending (date) -> Columns view: Full -> Sort order: Date ☑ Descending
- Configuration -> View mode -> <Default> -> Columns view: Full -> Sort order: Name (only example)

- Configuration -> Auto Switch Mode
- ☑ Automatically switch view mode on directory change:
- Add... -> Rule: +: Must match -> Directory: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\
- Set this mode: Sort_descending (date) <-- this is the name of your View mode!
- OK - finished

There's also a similar folder, \\Last visited\ (in german language: \\Zuletzt besucht\)...
Theoretically you could add it as follows:
- Click on the "More sub-rules" button, then on the "&" button
- select "| OR (any match)" by clicking on it
...
