Sorting files im plain view

#1 Post by homersimpsonmeingmx » 01.02.2020, 03:34

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with sorting files in other profiles than the default.
I created a profile for the plain view with Name, Path and Size columns.
It is automatically activated when using the plain view (OK).
In the relative profile settings page I can set per each column the sorting order to be applied when the column is highlighted (OK).

What I cant do is to choose which column is highlighted by default when the plain view is entered.

I always have to click on the Path header, otherwise it is by default sorted by Extension (like the default view), which is not even selected...! (...and yes, I save the settings after choosing the column)

Can anybody please help me?

Regards, Marco



I'm running the portable 810 on Win10 1903

Do you have created the plain view column profile and plain view for automatic views?

For Column profiles create "Plain view", condition "<plain>", add columns you want, probably you have this already.

For Automatic views create "Plain view" item, condition "<plain>", view type "Details", column profile "Plain view", sort on "***".

*** - here you can choose default sorting option / column, name, size, path...

Another useful option is the "Lock view", create this toolbar button and you will be able to lock the current view/sorting, even if you change the view/tab.
