Toolbar Sort Buttons - Toggle Direction

#1 Post by BGM » 10.01.2013, 17:22

Salvete! I have the button on my toolbar for "Sort: Date/Time" - it does, indeed sort by date and time, but it only sorts one direction.

When you click the button, the button is depressed, it only gets un-depressed when you change to a different sort mode.

Now, I think that, if you click the button whilst it is depressed, it should sort the list in the opposite direction - kind of like clicking on the header of a listview column.

Right now, I have to use the option in the context menu of the directory to change the sort direction, which is counter-productive to having the button on the toolbar.

Can this be something to add to the next version, Marek, or am I just missing the way to do this?

Using version 629

Is there a way to make the toolbar buttons toggle the sort direction?

For your sort buttons in the toolbar define the "Group index" to unique value, e.g. 300, 301, 302,....

Marek, can you explain to me how that "group index" works?

The buttons with same group index creates a buttons group.
In the group is only one button active. If you have many buttons you can change the state of the button with the click on one other button.
If the group has only one button, then you can change the state of the button with the click on the same button.

Are there any limits to the numbers you can use?
Are there any numbers you can't use (I think there is something about 0 that disables it?)?
I think that 100 is the default isn't it?
What actually happens if you use group index numbers on a button that doesn't need to toggle?
