CS6 Icon View Sort Order

Is there a way to change the sort order in Icon view? I want it to adheire to what ever sort order I had in column view, so that i can see clips from multiple cameras in timecode order next to each other, but instead I seem to get all the clips from one camera, then the next camera and so on.
It's making it almost useless for skimming through clips in chronological order from multiple cameras.
What am I missing?
Is this yet 'another' feature request I'm going to have to make?

I don't think I'd have it set up to select clips, I just can't think of a situation where I'd want some items in a bin organised but others not. Right click on background of bin with a contextual menu. Mosty I'd want to sort by name, timecode, online/offline, and possibly codec (for splitting up proxies versions from camera originals). People could always copy their bin before sorting it, so they could have one organised as a storyboard and another organised in... well... a good way, is how I'd put it!
What if the items on the contextual menu were definied by the list headings a user had set up in List View? That way if someone had some strange criteria they needed to sort by they could add it, but would also be able to keep the length of the menu in check if needed? Customisable yet contained.
And definitely the ability to add keyboard shortcuts for the various sort functions. More keyboard shortcuts in general please! Track patching would be great. And there's a lot of functions that need the particular panel they relate to to be highlighted before the keyboard shortcut works.... I would LOVE if this went away. If I hit the key for Toggle All Target Video On, I pretty much want it to just turn on the target video, and I'd really love it to do it without having to click on the sequence first. Lots of examples of this sort of thing, basically anything that's a "panel" function. Some of it is just kooky, for example I have "Source Clip: Previous" mapped as a shortcut key. When I hit this key, of course it relates to the Source monitor! Having to bring up the source monitor AND THEN hit the keyboard shortcut is just unnecessarily cumbersome, and often ends up in a situation where it's not just an extra keystroke, it's several extra keystrokes because you end up having to bring up a panel to do a function, and then bring up the previous panel to be able to continue what you were doing. Lots of extra keystrokes that I think could easily be made more efficient. I've submitted a request for this as well, I called it Keyboard Shortcuts Should Always Work. (Sorry, kind of wandered off topic there).

All Projects view - Sort Order

Is there a way of changing the sort order of the All Projects view - either to name order, or custom rather than the way it seems at the moment - time of project creation from oldest to newest?
Jason

I am also looking for a way to do this. When you have 300 projects, it's annoying to always have to scroll down to the bottom every time you click into projects view. I wonder if there is a hidden preference or something like that. Can anybody help?

Change in maintanence view sort order

I have a requirement where i need to change the sort order of the way the data is displayed in the view.
Ex if the primary key has A,B,C and D. the data is sorted in the order A,B,C and D but i need to show the sorted data as per B,C and D without changing the key of the table.The client want use a variant. can someone tell where in the screen can i change the code for this.
Thanx

I dont think so , Therell be any setting in table. What you can do , you can go to table Maint. generator -> Modification and in source code you can sort on the basis of user requirement .
This is the only possibility I can think of ...
Hope thisll help you .
Thanks

BOBJ 6.5 - Infoview - Bespoke Document View Sort Orders

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if it is possible to define a custom sort order of the documents displayed under corporate documents e.g. name asc and date desc and independantly the categories defined within with different sort orders. Obviously document naming conventions may be the way to go without - but I am looking at a legacy where there is no consistency, changes are required and if there is short-path to a solution. Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Roy

Hi Ted!
Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I don't know if there is a different version of the viewers folder that I should be using but I am using the ones from this folder:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12
That said, I didn't see anything amiss in Fiddler and when I looked in Firebug at the script portion where it was constructing the FlexParameterUI panel, I could see where it was capturing the report parameter names and prompts. I decided to rip out all the parameters out of my report and voila, it loaded up fine in the viewer.
I then added a new string parameter giving it a simple short name (Test1) and, initially, I did not use this parameter in the report. It loaded up in the viewer just fine too.
I then added the parameter to the report header and I was back to the same problem - it would not load in the viewer and the error was the same as the subject line shows.
For the record, I am using Crystal Reports 2008 v12.2.0.290
So is there some other crystalreportviewers12 that I should be using?
Kind regards,
Evan

IDCS5 Win: Panel Tree View sort order

Hello everyone:
I have a panel tree view that is displaying document names in a backward sort order. When I say that I mean that the sort order is as so:
5
4
3
2
1
as opposed to
1
2
3
4
5
I have stepped through the code and in the Adapter, they are geting placed into the string list in the latter order i.e. 1,2,3,4,5). What could be causing this reverse sort order?
R,
John

Yes, if the Track Number field is empty in the File Info dialog, for all files in the Files panel, then Audition will revert to "Recent Access" sorting.
There is no relationship between this File Info: Track Number, and the track number you see in the CD View.
I understand your confusion. However, note that it is possible to add the same file (from the Files panel) to the CD View track list. So imagine you have "My Song.wav" in the Files panel. And then added it to the CD view track list at track positions 1, 3, and 5. If we were to sort the Files panel by track number as they appear in the CD View, then which track would be associated with "My Song.wav"? Track 1, 3, or 5?
This feature was added primarily as an enhancement to the typical CD ripping (File > Extract Audio From CD) workflow. After ripping audio tracks, the resulting files that appear in your Files panel will be tagged with a Track Number. It is usually handy to sort by this CD track title rather than by filename or other sorting option.

Calendar List View Sort Order

If I have two appointments set to the same time and length on the calendar, the sort order on the "month" view is sorted based on the title (this is great and what I am looking for). If I go to the "day" view or the "list" view the sort order appears to be random. I have tried to figure out what the sort order is for the list view and the day view but no luck.
I am using a second calendar in Outlook for tasks and setting all items to the same time and length. I can then create a task list that syncs to the iphone. Just can't get the sorting figured out.

Hi,
I have the same issue since one week ago (iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.0.2).
Only 2 calendars on my Exchange mailbox are synced. Items show correctly on the day and month view, but in list view (which I use most), some of them appear under a wrong date. Annoying !
After restart and/or remove/add of calendars, list view takes a long time to 'load'. switching to day view and the back to list makes it appear (but unfortunately with the same problem).
Greetz,
Philip

Category List/Tree View Sort Order

What determines the sort order for the folders in the Category/Tree view Lists?
I have two machines both at SP1 FP3, one displays Favorites and then Add-Ons, the other displays Favorites and then Charts, with Add-Ons coming at the bottom of the list.
Any ideas, another registry fix?
Thanks
Charles

Hi pianoboyCoder,
You could loop the treeNodes in the treeView. then move the Node whose text begin with "Red" to bottom.
I wrote a test program for you. you could refer to .
int upper = this.treeView1.Nodes.Count;
TreeNode Temp;
for (int Outer = upper-1; Outer >= 1; Outer--)
for (int Inner = 0; Inner <= Outer-1; Inner++)
if (treeView1.Nodes[Inner].Text.StartsWith("Red"))
Temp = treeView1.Nodes[Inner];
treeView1.Nodes[Inner] = treeView1.Nodes[Inner + 1];
treeView1.Nodes[Inner + 1] = Temp;
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Youjun Tang

Change Label Sort Order (in icon view)

How can I change the order that labels are sorted in?
In list view, labels are sorted in alphabetical order, so you can change the order by changing the label names, but labels are always in the same order in icon view - and it's not a particularily logical order. It isn't alphabetical, and it isn't in order of the colours (grey - green - purple - blue - yellow - red - orange) and now in Mountain Lion (I just upgraded from Snow Leopard) I can't even keep them arranged in reverse order so the ugly grey is at the bottom.
Is there any way to change the label sort order for icon view?

Hello there, SECbc.
The following Knowledge Base article shows how to sort in Finder:
Mac Basics: The Finder
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
Specifically:
In any view, you can organize the window by clicking the item arrangement button and choosing one of the ways to group items.

Opening a bin of clips to Icon View defaults sorting to "User Order"

It seems like almost any time I open a bin of clips directly into Icon view, Premiere always defaults to sorting them in a random "User Order," instead of by clip name (which would be preferred).
Any setting I am overlooking that would cause this? Premiere 7.1 on Mountain Lion 10.8.4
Cheers

That makse sense, I suppose, but I don't think I've ever consciously imported media from the media browser NOT in sequential order (in terms of hitting CMD-A, selecting all, and Importing)

Lion has changed the order in which Finder items are sorted in Icon View; Acc vs. Desc. How can you change this order?

The order in which items are sorted has changed in Lion and I can't figure out how, or if, it can be changed. Previously in Snow Leopard if you sorted by 'Date' in Icon View, your icons would be arranged from oldest to newest. The same was true for 'Kind' and all the order sort options. In Kind my *.zip files were positioned last.
Now in Lion, the order is reversed. Newest and Zips on top... the accending vs. decnding order has been changed. How can I change the sort order in Icon View?

I managed to fix the reverse order issue by deleting the com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile in the user library folder. I did have to use terminal to delete the files and then re-launch finder from the force quit window. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
Hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu. Select Library.
Navigate to the Preferences.
Find the com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile and delete it.
Open Terminal (Application/Utilites)
In Terminal type in sudo rm (include a space after the rm and do not hit enter)
Drag com.apple.finder.plist file to the terminal window. It will fill in the path to the file)
Press return.
Type in your password and hit return. (The cursor will not move when you type in your password)
From the Apple menu, select force quit.
Highlight finder and select re-launch.
Be careful when using Terminal. There is no undo button and you can accidentally delete important files.
I hope this helps.

Icon View in Finder sort order is reversed

Hi,
In Finder, when using icon view, the "arrange by">"date modified" order has reversed. I can't find any settings to change it back.
Other views such as list view are working normally. The change happened yesterday evening and appears to affect all folders. Rebooting makes no difference.
Please can anyone tell me how to correct this?
Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.Finder.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

How do I reverse the order in which files appear in Icon View option?

I took a lot of pictures on a trip recently, which I have uploaded to a folder in Finder. When I click on View Options and then Keep Arranged by Date Created, they get rearranged so that the most recent appears at the top, and the first ones taken are at the bottom. How can I reverse this order, so that they appear in chronological order?
Thanks,
Richard

There might be another way.
There are utilities which can batch-rename files, including options that sort by date, begin all the resulting filenames with a common prefix, and then add a sequential "padded" filename suffix. If you then display the resulting collection of files in alphabetical order (as in Finder's Arrange by Name in icon view), they should be sorted chronologically.
I haven't tried any of these, but the site for [A Better Finder Rename|http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html], shareware, states:
"A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. "
There may be suitable freeware alternatives -search for *file renamer* in [Version Tracker|http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx>.

How do I sort by date with oldest first in icon view in Finder?

In Finder, when I view "As Icons", and "Keep Arranged" by "Date Created", it sorts them in reverse date order with the most recent first. But if I try to check the "Date Created" option again over this already checked option, it doesn't ever sort in ascending date order with the oldest first. Is there any way to sort with oldest first?

If you ever find the answer, I'd love to know as well. How odd is it that you can do this. I tried several searches for this in software hacks, and applications that let you alter icon views and the like. Can't believe the limited interest in correcting it either.
I was looking for a way to display screen shots of various jpeg elements with files names that double as instructions in a tutorial. Icon view allowed me to see pictures in a large enough size to use as instructions with the corresponding file names. All I would have had to do was screen shots assembled into a PDF and I would have been done. Having to retype every instruction along with copy, and pasting into a new document and so forth is more than double the work for any set of pictorial instructions.
Maybe Garage Band or some other application is the workaround until then. I'll let you know if I ever find a better workaround, or the solution.

Sort order switches when changing from List to Thumbnail View

I can't seem to get the Thumbnail view to "lock" to the same sort order as the list view. I arrange by file name (or ingest date, or reverse media duration, or any of the other sortable metadata fields) in list view, but then when I click to the thumbnail view, the order seems to arbitrariliy change to some sort of preset. What's worse, it appears to be changing to something that's in a jumbled order.
This isn't a big deal if I only have 10 clips. If I have 100, or 1,000 clips though, they have to be in a sortable order for the thumbnail view to be of any use.
Thanks,
Eli

Hi,
Thanks for your post. Our current design doesn't support keeping order between list view and icon view. It would be good if you can drop that as a feature request / bug into the the forum.
