slow sort.

Post by skan »

Hello

I find Everything very useful and fast.
But strangely the "sort" option is very slow.
There are many methods to quicly sort very large lists of elements.

Everything is slow when sorting unindexed information (such as size and dates).

The next release of Everything will support indexing sizes and dates, this will help improve the sorting performance when sorting by these types.
There will also be an option in the next release to allow fast sorting (at the cost of memory), this will make sorting by size / dates / path almost instant.
