SortMix: Why only for Name and Size?

[Bamsen]

Hi,

I have image files that need to be moved into already existing folders.
The name format for folders and files are different (for reasons ) so I create a custom column where the date format is the same.
But when I turn on mixed sort i still get directories and files separate.

The documentation says:

Code: Select all

Only works for name, path, size, date modified, date created, date accessed and attribute sorts.

When I have PathPart: in the search, SortMix: does not work at all.

The search I am using is:

Code: Select all

SortMix: endwith:pathpart:"D:\bilder\- Fotografi\- 2009" A-Label:="Dato" Add-Column:A:1 A:=Substitute(Substitute(Name:,"-",),"2009","09")

Now I would like to sort on my custom "Dato" column and see which folders the files should belong in.

Is it not possible to make SortMix: work on ANY column?

My version is: 1.5.0.1355a (The latest at the time of posting)

Support for mixing all columns is on my TODO list.

For now, only name, path, size and date modified are supported.
(and date created and attributes if indexed)

The reason: it took a lot of code to get the performance of mixing just the name, size and date modified columns to a usable state.
Even now, mixing name, size and date modified is still not instant.

For small lists such as yours, the performance hit probably won't matter much.
