Sort order

[harryray2]

If I do a search for both files and folders, the files are shown first then the folders.
If I then sort by date by clicking in the header column the files and folders appear in descending date order (newest first) which is fine.

If I then want to view the folders I click on the header column again and the folders appear at the top of the list but they're in ascending order (oldest first)

Is there a way of making the folders appear in descending order?

To show folders first:
Either:

Sort by date descending and then shift click the Name column.
This will set the secondary sort to Name Ascending.

Folders are always shown first when using a secondary sort.

-or-

Set folders to always show as first:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /folders_first=1
  where 1 is always show folders first and 0 is show folders first when in ascending order.

Thanks, I actually want the files to always show first but the folders to appear in descending order when I click the columns to bring the folders to the top of the list.

Everything does not have an option to show folders in descending order when sorting in ascending order.


Pressing \ in the result list will jump between folders and files.

-or-

Try folders first in descending order:
In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/folders_first=3

Thanks, I think I've got it...shift clicking the name column, is there a way of doing this just with the mouse or will I have to use shift?

Shift must be held down when setting the secondary sort with the mouse.
