[snopsy]

hello
I've tried all settings I found, as soon as I type a letter, it lost sort choice I made ('sort by date') and activate 'sort by name'
same with manual search with 'enter' key
any advice or it's software bug ?
thank you

This is a limitation with Everything.
Everything must reset the sort to name after searching as this is how the index is stored internally.

To always keep the current sort:

• Completely Exit Everything.
• Open your Everything.ini file in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Change the following line:

  Code: Select all

  always_keep_sort=0

  to:

  Code: Select all

  always_keep_sort=1

• Save changes and restart Everything.

Note: Enabling this will drastically reduce the performance of Everything.

See Everything.ini for more information.

FYI, for anyone else having trouble with the ini file, I used an Admin-level notepad and ALSO made sure all Everything-related Processes were terminated in Task Manager. before this, the settings in .ini would keep reverting! So either the admin or the terminating everything processes (think an extra one is created if you have it in the Notification icon area). Caused me a lot of confusion till I tried that; so I hope it helps someone else.

Does this mean that the "Sort:" options under Options > General > Home are useless unless the .ini file is edited?

The sort under Tools->Options->Home is always used for new windows.
