How to change order of items in folder view?

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I'm looking for an option to change the order of items in folder view.



It would be even cooler if it could fetch the order by from windows explorer, as it remembers last ordering options:


Another good example can be Downloads (or documents) folder.
Order them by Date Modified, so latest downloads/documents show on top.

Can this be accomplished or is this feature request?

Hello Basj,

I have notifications enabled, I won't miss a post! :)

As a temporary "hack" for my use case, I created "pinned" items by creating shortcuts from the items I'd want on top and prefixing the with "0X." - where X is the order number I want (0 causes it to be on top).

For example, let's assume Projects folder containing a lot of projects, and "Project X" and "Project Y" are the most frequent ones I use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


For some odd reason, windows explorer orders them to the bottom, but that's actually OK, since Start10 respects the "0 hack".

In addition, I can even change the shortcut icons to be distinguishable.
You can also set the shortcut hidden, so it won't show in explorer, but will on Start10.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


But this is manual work (and wouldn't be viable for downloads/documents example..), ordering the items by date modified would keep most frequent project automatically somewhere in the top :)

Anyway, thanks for the quick response, can't wait to hear back from support!
