Advanced Sort from the search box

[Stamimail]

View > Sort By > Advanced Sort...

1. Creating a syntax to control the ResultList properties.
2. then the user will be able to type in the search box for example:

ext:mp3 ResultList:(sortby:("Run Count":D, "Date Run":D, Path:A, Name:A))

audio: ResultList:(sortby:("Run Count":D, "Date Run":D, Path:A, Name:A), "Organize Columns":(Name, "Run Count", "Date Run", Path))

[void]

I have very recently added a secondary-sort: search function.

With this you can search for:

ext:mp3 sort:run-count-descending secondary-sort:date-run-descending

I will consider a tertiary-sort: search function.

Thank you for the suggestion.



You can already set the columns and order with the columns: search function

For example:

columns:name;run-count;date-run;path

I have very recently added a secondary-sort: search function.

I saw that, and because of that I wrote this suggestion - to expand the possibilities.
1. Not only for sort by, but also for other UI and app interacting.
The suggestion is to use a familiar syntax for a temporary settings for the current search/session, like XML, CSS, JSON, JS objects (I don't know...)
temporary = till the search box is back to blank.

I will consider a tertiary-sort: search function.

I'm not asking this function. I'm suggesting a concept to expand the possibilities. (like to set a width or background-color to a specific column via the search box)

Good to know, that's what I'm talking about.
BUT, I think it should by default to be applied only temporary - for the current search/session,
and restore to the previous state when a new search begins.
To make the change for the HOME search, another function will be used like:
HOME(columns:name;run-count;date-run;path)
