Several sortings at once

Post by Otter »

Suggestion about sorting files by many parameters, 1 after another. For example if they were sorted by path, inside these, needed to sort by date, but retain the overall list order - by paths. This could get introduced by holding Ctrl or Shift when pressing the column. And if pressed without Ctrl, many assigned sortings get overritten again, and the first priority assigned like that.

Conditional sort is another feature which might be handy in searches. Say a search for date range is made and then to sort amongst the biggest to lowest sizes for each date is possible , some unwanted junks can be identified.

The old 451 alpha version of Everything used to allow sorting, and then sorting again.
For example, You could sort by path, then by size. Any files that had the same size would be sorted by path.

I will review the option to do this again. (It does come at a performance cost)

I will review the option to set a secondary sort from the View menu.

Thanks for the suggestion.
