Re: How could one sort folders by creation date?
I 'saw' it but I didn't 'look' at it!
Are you using the latest 0.99.1?
I rarely use the browser, but I'm surprised that you can sort by both 'Created date' and 'Name', maybe I need to think about that, sort order within a sort, maybe.
I don't think I can help any more, maybe michel038 can?

Sounds very strange. But I am glad you read the text.I 'saw' it but I didn't 'look' at it!
Yes yes, latest.
Or only active / working when ordered by "Name" (e.g. not by date).I rarely use the browser, but I'm surprised that you can sort by both 'Created date' and 'Name', maybe I need to think about that, sort order within a sort, maybe.
Many thanks anyway!

I would have thought, thinking a little more, that it would require a way to indicate the priority, which sort is applied first.

Yes, may be, who knows.
I just found out that folders cannot be sorted at all obviously. May be there is an option to activate that sorting.

Keine Ahnung. Ändern eben einfach nicht ihre Reihenfolge, egal, was ich bei den Sortieroptionen anklicke, falls ich das alles richtig erkenne.
Könntest Du das nochmal erklären(?): Wieso? 'sorted at all obviously' = 'not clear how' or 'sorted at all, obviously' = 'clearly impossible' ?

I don't know why it works for me (if I understand correctly) and not for you...
English is my Muttersprache, and what you wrote to me had two possible meanings...Könntest Du das nochmal erklären(?): Wieso? 'sorted at all obviously' = 'not clear how' or 'sorted at all, obviously' = 'clearly impossible' ?
I think you should try to define 'steps to reproduce' the bug you think you see, and then file a bug report separately.

Settings > (Browser) File list > Folders always sorted alphabetically ?

Re: How could one sort folders by creation date?
Yes, cannot find a way here to make it work (and it should not be that difficult, I assume).I don't know why it works for me (if I understand correctly) and not for you...
Ah, Muttersprachen, I hope I generally do not explain the opposite of what I mean. That would explain a lot.
Sorry, I cannot even find it...ah, found it (easily like sorting folders)....yes, it works now, thank you. Is it activated by default?Settings > (Browser) File list > Folders always sorted alphabetically ?

Re: How could one sort folders by creation date?
I assume that is the default as I have never changed, or even seen that setting before.

Re: How could one sort folders by creation date?
So activated by default? I suppose, deactivated by default since the sorting already worked with you?
