Dock: decrease sorting of files' folder

Hello everyone,
I put my Downloads folder in my dock.
I want to sort the files that appears in a list by reverse order of creation:
that means the recent files on the bottom, next to my mouse when i click on the folder, instead of scrolling to the top if they are sorted by order of creation and if i have lots of downloads.
When i right click on the folder i can only see "sort by date of creation" and not "sort by reverse order of date of creation"..
Thanks for helping !
Best Regards

Good luck with that. BTW, the Console app is a log file reader and has nothing to do with editing anything.

Cannot sort in file/folder access control list in 8 or Server 2012

I use Windows 8 and Server 2012 Datacenter (with GUI). In 7/2008R2, I was formerly able to get properties on a file or folder, go to Security tab, click Advanced, and sort the access control list by type, access, inherited from, etc. Now, it
doesn't do anything when I click on the headings. I know I did not find this during the Beta or Release Preview periods, but I do wish this feature would be added back.
I tried to send this through MS Connect, but they said it was a Server 2008 issue. Does that mean that it was never supposed to sort? But I argue that 8 and Server 2012 have the bug. Here is an image of the window I am referring to, for
clarification:

This is really frustrating. Just got 2012 R2 management server and a week after, I noticed the same issue. The only difference is that I'm sorting AD delegation, with 150+ ACEs. While having huge lists of ACEs, it is a must of being able to sort them
by different columns. Sad that it is considered a bug - it's usually an opposite, when a bug is offered as a feature...
I still hope this will be fixed with time to come, else - it will be more practical to use PowerShell than such handicapped GUI.

Lost the "recent file" folder in the dock next to the trash bin and cannot figure out how to replace it. Any thoughts?

Lost the "recent file" folder in the dock next to the trash bin and cannot figure out how to replace it. Any thoughts?

First thing I would do is look in the trash and if it isn't there look in the System Preferences and I am sure it will be in there.

My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come before

My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come first after numbers and special characters, then letters H, K, M-N, P, W, B-D and so on. I click on the column header again and it reverses the sort, but still messed up. This convoluted sort appears in all views. All the letters are grouped together, so all the "a"s, "e"s, etc are being sorted by some algorithm, but it's not alphabetical. I noticed it after installation of Snow Leopard, but it could have been that way before. I did a wipe and load and just imported user settings from Time Machine afterwards. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Usually, it is (1) a preference file located here
<user home folder>/Library/Preferences/
In this case, the problem is not just Finder if it also happens in Mail. Unfortunately, there are a lot of preference files.
Or it is (2) a background process that runs when you log in to your account. If it is something that starts automatically, it may be one of your Login Items. You can look at System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab. That list shows processes that run when you log in to that account. If you see anything that you no longer need, you should remove it. Look for anything there that might, for whatever reason, change the alphabetical sort order.
Make sure English is selected as language in System Preferences +Language & Text+ pane. It seem improbable that it would not be, but I just noticed there is a setting at the bottom of that pane that says +Order of sorted lists+. Does that have something other than English ?

PSE6 - sort by file name

How to sort by file name in the Organize view of PSE6.
I tried Display->Folder Location. But there are still two pictures (#15 and #18 out of 130) which are shown at the end of the view.
More sort options in the thumbnail view would be helpful.
Thanks
Hagen

Not sure I understand what zou mean here Hagen. Do you because the
images are in a different folder they don't end up in the right sequence?

How can I get Elements 11 Organiser to sort by File Name as in Elements 7

I have just acquired Elements 11 to replace Elements 7
All my main photos (thousands) are in 1 file on my computer.
My individual file names are dates - eg "1960-09Sept Venice St Marks Square.." etc, so File Names bring my thousands of images up in date order.
I have tagged them in Elements 11 as appropriate with 1 or more Tags per photo.
In Elements 7 there is an Option "Display" and one of the options is "Folder Location" i.e file name order, which is what I want.
I cannot find this option in Elements 11 - all I have found is an option to sort by just "new" or "old" i.e file date order. Fine for photgraphs where the file date is the same as the photo but a scan done today may be of an image in 1960 which is where I wanted it sorted!
I know you can amend the file date in Elements 11 for each image but I have hundreds of scans to redate!
I also know you can bring the images up in Elements 11 of my whole file by using "Reveal in Explorer" which brings them up in file name/date order for me but not when I click on the Elements 11 Tags which reverts to File Date.
Is there anyway I can get the Tags to sort by File Name/Location in Elements 11 as in Elements 7?
Tony

Many thanks for your previous message. Very useful.
In fact in preparing to answer your question, I find that maybe my problem is not as bad as I thought!
Yes, I have a lot of photos but the majority in digital form are photos (2,500) since the year 2000 which will be sorted by Elements according to the photo/file date.
I have 6,000 or so prints/slides going back mostly to the 1930s but quite a few back as far as the late 1800s. I am scanning a lot of these into digital form but I have only scanned about 500 or so so far and it is only these that are causing a problem. (I am unlikely to scan all 6,000!). These range from the 1880s to 2000. However, as I only started taking digital photos in 2000, if I follow your suggestion, I could give all my scans the same file date (a date prior to 2000) and if I understand correctly what you say, they will then all be sorted in the alpha/numeric order I want.
Have I got this right?.
I suppose, as an alternative, It would not be a real problem to insert a file date for the 500 or so I have scanned and I would then just need to enter a file date for any future scans.
As you indicate, there are other options but one of the 2 options above seem at present to be my best bet.
Thank you very much for your suggestions - maybe I can now more or less get what I want without too much effort but I would still prefer Adobe to add a File Location Option as before!

24" iMac - white screen - with a file folder in the centre that has a '?'

When I awakened my iMac, I wished to open iPhoto but when I clicked on it in the dock a screen came down from the top darkening the screen and superimposed on it was a message telling me to shut down. However, when I rebooted all I got was a white screen and after a minute a grey file folder bearing a query mark (?) appeared. This iMac has only been used a couple of weeks since having its hard drive replaced and now this ! What does the file folder represent ? Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I was able to reboot successfully after I disconnected the power cable, waited for 30 seconds, and then reconnected the cable. (Page 42 of Everything Mac.)

That's the firmware telling you it can't find the operating system it's been assigned to boot from.
It could be because it forgot somehow, or the operating system is no longer there or readable or the hardware holding the operating system has failed.
Hold the power button to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the option/alt key held down on the wired or built in keyboard, icons will hopefully load on the screen and if OS X appears, click the arrow to boot from it.
Once in OS X, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select your boot drive so it can remind the firmware.
If there is no OS X boot volume, just recovery or Bootcamp (if Windows installed) then you need to perform more work.

Sorting Incoming Files??

http://lifehacker.com/5099883/download-mover-automatically-sorts-incoming-files
Is it possible to do this on a Macbook?? I have tried smart folders, but I am trying to be able to download in firefox or safari and only mp3 files are moved to a designated folder and opened by itunes.
Any Tips??

Thanks...I checked both sites for something like an auto sorter for music and possibly even other file types. But no luck..Still open to suggestions.

"Sort by File Extension" not working

In my v1.4, I've lost the "ability" to sort by file extensions ... it just sorts by file name when I select this.
I have used it to edit my pics from my D3 (.nef), my pics from an old S3 set to in-cam B/W (.jpg), and my wife's S5 (.raf).
This used to work, and now it doesn't do a thing. What happened, or at least, how do I get that functionality back?
Neil

I've tried that, but it seems to want to give me EVERY image in the catalog with that situation ... here, I ONLY want the ones in the current folder.
Am I missing something?

How do I sort by file type?

I was wondering how I can sort by file type? I have a bunch of .moi and .mod files in a directory and want yo delete the .moi files. If I could sort by type, then it would just be a matter of highlighting those and deleting. I tried sorting by kind, but since they are seen as Unix Executable files by the OS, it sorts them but not by .moi or .mod. Thanks in advance for your help.
MAC OS 10.6.8

I don't believe you can sort by extension. However, what you can do is to type .moi into the search field at the top of the Finder window where you see those files. That will initially show all .moi files on your entire computer. At the top of the displayed search results will the the text "Search:" followed by three choices. "This Mac" should be selected, but the name of the folder you were looking in will be the second choice... click that one. That will cause the search results to contain only files from that folder, containing the text ".moi", which should be the ones you're interested in deleting.

ITunes sometimes doesn't sort my mp3 folder

hey everyone - i triesd searching the forum for an answer to this but unfortunately didn't seem to find anything. i might be searching with the wrong keywords. but basically my question is this:
ihave iTunes set up so that it sorts my mp3 folder. i think this is pretty straight forward. i move all my songs and downloads (mainly from beatport.com) into my mp3 folder and then import them to iTunes (usually by dragging into iTunes) most of the time iTunes takes the raw file that has some kind of weird id3 tag like 0192deep_space_carl_craigremix and sorts it appropriately into a folder with Artist, Title, Album, etc... that way when i go to look for it, its under the artist, not just a single file like the one above
but SOMETIMES it doesn't do this. sometimes the file stays with that funky tag. which means when i go to search for it it's NOT under the artist's name. mainly th issue i run into is when using something like Ableton, i can't search my folder by artists, i have to search this mess of random songs starting with numbers like 839093_Deep... etc...
anyone have any idea why iTunes doesn't sort these song files? it seems pretty random, but it WILL do it as one big chunk. meaning if i buy 10 songs from Beatport, it either sorts ALL 10 appropriately, or it DOESN'T sort all 10... never anything in between
any insight would be fantastic!!!

unfortunately thats the problem. usually either iTunes manages the folders immediately OR - all i have to do is manually change the iTunes tags and it will automatically reconfigure the folder and place these songs that have the iD3 tags of 8948204_xxxxxx into the right format. So for example if the song is mark alexandre - itunes help. the file with 43289294ituneshelp will automatically be put into a folder for Mark Alexandre...
it just hasn't been doing it lately....

View Windows File Folder/Location in ITunes

Is there any way to see what file folder your music is in from iTunes (in the library)? I have some folders for very specific things and want to make playlists out of them, but have to manually pick out each and every one since I can't seem to sort the library by file location...
Thanks for any help. This is actually a make-or-break for my next player purchase! Acey

Get info (File menu) on any track will tell you where the actual files are stored. But I don't see how that would help much in making a playlist. You are correct that you cannot sort nor search iTunes by file location, so you'll still have to go through each item one by one, if you want to build a playlist solely based on where the track is stored on the hard drive.
Perhaps, though, you could use a tag editor to put a tag into the Comments or Grouping for each track in a given folder. Then you could use a Smart Playlist to search for those tags. Someone else here may be able to provide more information about that possibility.

Changing mouse click default to "open" (file/folder)

My logitech mouse button1 defaults to "search" instead of "open' when I left click. i don't want to have to rt click first, then select "open". I want mouse default to be "open". any suggestions?

Hi,
I have just had the same problem, but fixed it!
All I did was go to any folder, Tools, Folder Options, File Types and find "File Folder" in the list
Then go to Advanced and select New
Add one for Action - Open and add an application of Explorer.exe
This sorted it!
Hope this helps you
