General • Re: Sorting Files First + Precise File Type Sort

Everything 1.4: No.

Everything 1.5: Yes, with some limitations using custom columns.

This is best done as a filter:

• From the Search menu, click Add to filters...
  Change the Name to: docx/pdf/folders/other
  Change the Search to:

  Code:

  <ext:docx;doc <#param:> a:=1> | <ext:pdf <#param:> a:=2> | <folder: <#param:> a:=3> | <<#param:> a:=4> sort:a-ascending

• Click OK.
• Activate your filter from the Search menu.

Notes:
The search can be a little slow.
Folders are currently always shown first.
Support for mixing files and folders when sorting by custom columns is on my TODO list.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filter Bar), Filter sidebar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.

Filters can be organized from Search menu -> Organize filters.
