IDEA: Multiple Sorts of Directories

(1/4) > >>

HankFriedman:
Please forgive me if my request is already handled somewhere...  but let me know if it is.

I would love a utility that would allow me to view a detailed list of files (e.g. showing name, extension, date, time, attribute..) and allow me to sort on two of them simultaneously.

E.g. To sort on extension, with a sub-sort showing them in declining dates.

Like this:

     index.htm    02/22/2008
     books.htm   02/20/2008
     article.htm    01/15/2008

does any file manager allow you two types of sorting at once? Could anyone write a simple one?

thanks

jgpaiva:
Oh, this is definitelly work for a file manager. IIRC, DOpus can do that ;)

AndyM:
In an explorer window, I first sorted by date, and then by extension.  Within each extension group, the date order was maintained.

HankFriedman:
Thank you both for your replies.

I will explore Directory Opus.

Andy M, are you using Windows XP? When I tried to replicate your success, I couldn't. I could neither get a column with the extentions shows as three letters after the . nor would the sort orders stick after I chose a new sort.

Thanks again

jgpaiva:
Interesting, i also can't reproduce andyM's described behaviour. (xp pro sp2 here).

Just tested: this isn't possible in xyplorer.
