Title: Sort by opening up the tab
Post by: Serg on September 05, 2013, 19:12:15

How to do that when opening up the tab remained the same sort, such as the type?
Now the default sort by name.

Default sort column for new tabs can not be configured.

You might be able to script it.. Open a new tab by script and then use MC.Explorer.Sort Col=2

Appointed for the button script MC.Explorer.Sort COL = 2, sorting is by type.
Appointed script MC.Explorer.NewBrowser PATH = "e: \" MC.Explorer.Sort COL = 2, the tab is created but does not sort by type.

Thank you! Working.
Why is the default sort by name? Polling for users?
I think it is more convenient sorting by type.

Because sorting by name is most common and there can not be an option for everything. There is already to many options. :)

There are also shortcuts for changing sort col, Ctrl+F1 for first column, Ctrl+F2 for second and so on.

Mathias,
If you don't want to add gui option for default sorting, I suggest saving sort type (column and direction) when choosing Set current layout by default.

P.S. Sorry. It is already saved.
