problem with sorting...

Postby hollywood » Fri May 17, 2013 4:24 pm

If you open "Files List", under "menu / view / files", you can access a column header for "date"

If you use the date header to sort by, it only seems to sort based on the "upload date" of the file to a server, either newest or oldest, depending if you keep hitting the date header.

Is there anyway to sort under that column based on the date you actually DOWNLOAD files?

I can't figure it out if there is.

If it's not possible, will it ever be?

It's sorting on whatever date is shown. If that the date is was posted on then that's what it's sorting on. I could probably change it to sort on the "landing on disk" date.

that would be awesome if you could, or at least made it a rotationary option....sometimes it's so much easier to just look in this field for something that I know the general date of my download, but not the name, as names tend to be made cryptic on many things. The problem is, as soon as you sort with the current "date" header, your "download" dates are lost forever - there's no way to make that field return to when you downloaded things at the top (or bottom)
Mark me down as really wanting this option

I believe I just changed it to make that the default.
