Change sorting in Finder from ascending to descending and keyboard shortcut

Hallo,
can someone point me in the right direction of how to change sorting in Finder from ascending to descending and what are the corresponding keyboard shortcuts?
I am already using the ctrl-cmd+number key shortcuts to modify my sorting, and a Google search produced the answer that I can change from ascending to descending by hitting the key-combination again. But it does not work ...
Any help ;-)  ?
Thank you !

Never heard of a keyboard command to toggle the sort sequence from ascending to descending and back.
The usual way to change it is to click the highlighted column name in the Finder window.

  • How to change view in iPhone from vertical to horizon and vice versa?

    How to change view in iPhone from vertical to horizon and vice versa?

    Not all applications will go from Portrait to Landscape. Changing just requires you to turn the device. However, if you have the orientation lock activated, then it will not change to landscape. To check, look in the status bar and see if you can see a small lock shaped icon near the battery icon. If you do, then orientation lock is activated. To turn it off, swipe upwards from the bottom of the iPhone screen to bring up Control Center. The orientation lock is the last icon on the top row to the right. Tap on it to turn it off. White is on, black is off.

    Your service provider shouldn't have anything to do with iCloud, what exactly is it you think you need to change over.

  • How can I stop the Thinkpad Yoga 14 from disabling the touchpad and keyboard?

    My dad got a Thinkpad Yoga 14 about a month ago and he usually uses his laptop at a 90 degree angle in bed. So when he is on his side, the laptop is on it's side as well. When he does that with the Thinkpad Yoga, the touchpad and the keyboard are disabled and he cannot use the laptop like he wants to. I think because it's a setting to not accidentally touch the keyboard or mouse when using it in tablet mode.
    I cannot find any setting on how to stop Windows from disabling the touchpad and keyboard on rotate. I've turned off auto-rotate but can't see anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  • By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

    rajlego,
    in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

  • How Many Functions And Keyboard Shortcuts etc. Are Missing From FCE 4 ?

    Seven hours ago I set out to discover the answer to this but I got side-tracked and discovered my camera had a microphone channel missing !
    So is there anything missing from FCE4 ?
    There have been spurious claims that things like "Export to Soundtrack" have been dropped and though the actual command has disappeared the functionality is there in "Export to QuickTime".
    However, I seem to remember Tom saying that a certain keyboard shortcut (which I can't remember) is missing.
    Has anyone noticed any particular items that really have been omitted ? (Don't say Soundtrack or 9GB of LT Media!)

    Hi Ian,
    just to confirm that what you and Tom have found is the same I have so far.
    A comment: while all other commands now missing in the FCE4 contextual menu are available in its standard menus, the Clip Enable command is really a ghost command. Only the control-B keyboard shortcut toggles it, there is no mention of it in any menu, but it appears in Tools/Button List. The online Help mentions a Modify/Clip Enable commands that does not actually exist, but on the other hand it does not mention its keyboard shortcut that in fact works... very clear!

  • Upgraded from X Pro to XI, keyboard shortcuts gone?

    In Acobat 9 and X, I could press Ctrl+Shift+t to go to the page modification dialog where I can eliminate whitespace, change margins, etc. That appears to now be gone. Ctrl+Shift+t now inserts pages. (HUH??? Who came up with that nonintuitive change?)
    How do I get to the Print Production > Set Page Boxes panel via the keyboard? I hate using the mouse; keyboard shortcuts are infinitely faster.
    It appears that in their haste to embrace touchscreen devices, Adobe is abandoning those of us who still use physical keyboards. Just because Adobe products are becoming more touch-friendly doesn't mean that Adobe should be removing standard legacy keyboard shortcuts! More importantly, if they are going to be changing/removing keyboard shortcuts, they need to implement a mechanism for customizing keyboard shortcuts.
    Stop the idiocy, Adobe.

  • Going from Mac to PC environment - keyboard shortcut help

    I just began working on a PC workstation and realized how much of a hassle it is due to the fact that the keyboard shortcut locations are so different.  For instance...
    If I wanted to perform an Undo, I would push Apple+Z on my Mac keyboard.  However if I am on a PC and wish to do an Undo, I would have to push Ctrl+Z (which unlike a Mac is NOT the button next to the spacebar).
    The button next to the spacebar on a PC happens to be the Alt button, which is what I always end up hitting because I'm so used to working on a Mac1  Does somebody have a PC Adobe Creative Suite preset file that conains all the keyboard shortcuts with the Alt and Ctrl buttons already switched?  Or is there some way I could easily switch the Alt and Ctrl buttons without having to change each individual command manually? Thanks.

    How about thinking outside of the box... the Creative Suite box? What happens when you are  using something other than a CS app and need to undo something? Those CS shortcuts would not really help you and would cause more confusion.
    As one that uses both platforms, I can assure you that what you are experiencing should be very temporary. It is not that difficult to mentally manage the shuffling of a couple keys.
    If you are committed to modifying your keyboard, you could try an app like this:
    http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
    You could also use this app with a Mac keyboard connected to your Windows computer, as suggested above. If I recall correctly, a Mac keyboard on Windows will make the COMMAND key equal to the WINDOWS key. Either, way, you are setting yourself up for huge headaches because these keys mean slightly different things on each computer. Just learn how to use the Windows keyboard as it is. I'm sure you cannot really be mentally challenged over this.

  • How can I do sorting from ascending to descending then unsort?

    Hi all,
    Can anybody help on this issue?
    I have a bunch of numbers in a table, and I hope when I click the column header once, it will do ascending.
    Click again, do descending. Then click three times, become unsort (which is origially ordered in absolute value).
    I tried to add tree SortKeys in sorter, but it doesn't work:
    List<RowSorter.SortKey> sortKeys = new ArrayList<RowSorter.SortKey>();
    sortKeys.add(new RowSorter.SortKey(2, SortOrder.UNSORTED));      // 2 means it's the 3rd column I want to sort
    sortKeys.add(new RowSorter.SortKey(2, SortOrder.DESCENDING));
    sortKeys.add(new RowSorter.SortKey(2, SortOrder.ASCENDING));
    sorter.setSortKeys(sortKeys);Then I tried to implement my own Comparator, but will always get numbers ordered in absolute value.
            Comparator<Float> comparator = new Comparator<Float>() {
                public int compare(Float s1, Float s2) {
                    if (s1 < 0) s1 *= (-1);
                    if (s2 < 0) s2 *= (-1);
                    return s1.compareTo(s2);   
            sorter.setComparator(2, comparator);      // 2 means it's the 3rd column I want to sortThank you very much indeed in advance.
    Cheers,
    George

    Apologies for not saying it clearly.
    I can easily do ascending and decending by applying this:
            sorter = new TableRowSorter<TableModel>(table.getModel());
            table.setRowSorter(sorter);But I also need my data to be sorted by absolute value. That's why I tried to implement my own Comparator.
    However, it turned out that I will only have one sorting method, which is the absolute value as you have noticed.
    Hence I hope the result, if possible, would be if I first click the column header, ascending orders.
    Click the second time, decending orders. And then click the third time, absolute value orders.
    Cheers

  • Why does the integratio​n time setting of Keithley 2000 (number of PLC) changes to medium (1PLC) from fast (10 PLC) and slow (0.1 PLC) settings, when I tried to read from Keithley?

    Dear All,
    I am trying to change the NPLC (the integration time) of Keithley 2000 and take voltage readings. Whenever I change the settings to fast or slow and then run the VI, the NPLC changes to medium. Could you kindly tell me what is causing this? Thank you and I look forward to receiving your replies.
    Regards

    For the NPLC setting, the higher the number, the longer it takes to get a reading.  So 10 PLC is much slower than 0.1 PLC. 
    See if you can set the NPLC setting from the front panel.  Then try changing the vi to set NPLC only, then read it back to see if it matches your setting.  Sometimes changing ranges will automatically set the NPLC depending on the range chosen.  So you have to send the range command before sending the NPLC command.  This may be what is happening.

  • Change keyboard shortcut for "Find"

    The default keyboard shortcut for the "find" function is Cmd-Opt-F. As you know, for virtually every other Mac app (if not all Mac apps), the shortcut for "find" is simply Cmd-F. In iTunes, though, Cmd-F turns the visualiser full-screen mode on and off. I never use the visualiser, and decades of Mac use have hard-wired my fingers for Cmd-F to be "find." I know that there is a method in System Preferences by which to change or assign associations between drop-down menu items and keyboard shortcuts, but there is no menu item for "find" so that method seems like a dead end.
    Is there a way to replace Cmd-Opt-F with Cmd-F in iTunes?
    Help, please!!!

    to be quite honest i dont no how exactly to do this,
    i just know it can be done. i have had no problem
    opening .plist files in vi-make sure you are in root
    account for system files.
    They (the .plist files) don't seem particularly readable in vi -- they seem to contain a lot of binary content. In earlier versions of OS X they were plain text and easily edited.....
    Solaris huh? how powerful
    is that? i dont know much about solaris . . . . like
    to try it though. recommendations?
    It's a more "traditional" Unix, meaning that it's very powerful, fairly bulletproof, very configurable, and pretty obtuse if you're not familiar with it. I like my Mac better!

  • Shrink Log file in log shipping and change the database state from Standby to No recovery mode

    Hello all,
    I have configured sql server 2008 R2 log shipping for some databases and I have two issues:
    can I shrink the log file for these databases: If I change the primary database from full to simple and shrink the log file then change it back to full recovery mode the log shipping will fail, I've seen some answers talked about using "No
    Truncate" option, but as I know this option will not affect the log file and it will shrink the data file only.
          I also can't create maintenance to reconfigure the log shipping every time I want to shrink the log file because the database size is huge and it will take time to restore in the DR site, so the reconfiguration
    is not an option :( 
    how can I change the secondary database state from Standby to No recovery mode? I tried to change it from the wizard and wait until the next restore for the transaction log backup, but the job failed and the error was: "the step failed". I need
    to do this to change the mdf and ldf file location for the secondary databases.
    can any one help?

    1. If you change recovery model of database in logshipping to simple and back to full Logshipping will break and logs wont be resored on Secondary server as log chain will be broken.You can shrink log file of primary database but why would you need that
    what is schedule of log backup. Frequent log backup is already taking care of log files why to shrink it and create performance load on system when log file will ultimately grow and since because instant file initilaization is not for Log files it takes time
    to grow and thus slows performace.
    You said you want to shrink as Database size is huge is it huge or does it have lots of free space. dont worry about data file free space it will eventually be utilized by SQL server when more data comes
    2. You are following wrong method changing state to no recovery would not even allow you to run select queries which you can run in Standby mode. Please refer below link to move Secondary data and log files
