How to sort file list by time

I have saved many PDF files from my mails - when I want to open (Adobe Reader on Samsung tablet) the file last saved I have no possibility find it simply by sorting file list by time - (list is fixed by name only) - how to change list order?.

Sorting by time could be based on documents'
(a) Date/Time created
(b) Date/Time modified
(c) Date/Time last opened / accessed
Adobe Reader for Android shows (c) in Recents.
(Click the image above to enlarge)
The last opened PDF document appears at the top. Please note that it is not customizable - meaning that you (as a user) cannot change the sorting criteria.

How to sort a list of strings, without methods and stuff just simple code?

Hi
How to sort a list of strings, without methods and stuff just simple code?
Thanks in adavance!!

Without methods? How are you going to all the sort code? What is the point of code?
Collections.sort(List) will sort strings or anything that implements the Comparable interface, or you can use the sort method that takes a Comparator implemenation.
If you want "just code", you could either get the Collections class souce and follow it to the code. But otherwise, there isn't one set of code. There are various sorting algorithms with advantages and disadvantages. Maybe you'd be better off searching for sorting algorithms and if you understand them, it should be simple to write Java implementations of them.

How to sort files and folders like Windows

I don't know if this is specific to Arch or every other Linux distro but one thing that really bugs me in Arch is how files and folders are sorted. I use Windows as my main OS (don't start on that please) and I have one folder properly organized exactly as I want it and I like it how Windows sorts this. I access that same folder from my Arch installation, the problem is that the sorting is different and it gets on my nerves lol...
This is how Windows sorts that specific folder:
C:\Users\Nazgulled\Documents\University>dir /O
Volume in drive C is Vista
Volume Serial Number is F84E-02BE
Directory of C:\Users\Nazgulled\Documents\University
05-08-2009 15:34 <DIR> .

How can I get Arch/Linux to sort exactly the same as Windows?

Ah, no. The way they are doing it is nonsensical and not good practice for a unix style system. Having said that, some solutions have already been offered in this thread.
While you are free to continue to ask others to help you achieve your aims, it may be more convenient for you to adapt to a structure that is displayed the same way under all systems (just to avoid frustration - not saying you _should_ do it ).
I really don't care if it's nonsensical, I use Windows 95% of the time or more, it's my main OS, I'm used to it and I like it. Why should I care if it's not a good practice for a unix style system? I just want things to behave the way I like and for a free system like Linux where it doesn't even compare to Windows in terms of freedom in what I can do with it and configure the way I like, it sure is hard to change the way folders/files are sorted...
It sucks that there isn't a proper solution but I'm not going to adapt anything, that would be nonsensical... But if I have to, I can live with the fact that there isn't a good solution and leave it as it is
Thanks everyone for their input, "topic closed".

How to sort files on my mac automatically?

I have a Macbook Pro which i installed a second hard drive in for media files. Every time I turn my Macbook off the files unsort themselves in each folder. So every time I'm turn it on have to press clean up by Name, Size etc. I know its not a big job, its just more irritating than anything. It doesn't happen on the SSD boot from just the hard drive. How can I stop this, if i can?

Well, icon view only offers one choice at a time. Open the folder, CMD+J, set arrange by to name, and it should hold the next time you open the folder.

How to Disable File Listing of UCM Content in WebCenter

Hi Experts,
We have a WebCenter custom portal application integrate with UCM. UCM hosts all static HTMLs, images, files for download, etc and WebCenter is provided the following link to access the html, images, etc.
http://host/PortalApp/content/conn/UCM_Connection/path/Contribution Folders/web/Public/images/some_image.gif
We notice that if we access http://host/PortalApp/content/conn/UCM_Connection/path/Contribution Folders/web/Public/images/ in browser, it provides full file listing and Up one folder link for viewer to navigate the full structure.
Our question is simple how to disable this behavior but we found nowhere in the documentation / google / forum have answer to this. So hope the experts here can answer, thanks.
Best Regards,
Ziho

No, I am not using Webtier. The content listing is the UCM content structure, not physical file structure. And the UI obviously is rendered by WebCenter with WebCenter image resource http://host/PortalApp/adf/webcenter/uponefolder_qualifier.png.

How to sort a list with numbers?

Hi!
How do i sort a list like this:
["Amningsnapp 6.c", "Anti-Colic Nappflaska 6.b", "Barn/Baby Underjams Girls 5.b", "Hår Gummisnodd 1.c", "Leksaker 7.a", "Pincett 2.a", "Protes Rengöring 3.a", "Sprayflaska Plast 4.b"]
...so that I get a list in number order like this instead:
["Hår Gummisnodd 1.c","Pincett 2.a","Protes Rengöring 3.a","Sprayflaska Plast 4.b","Barn/Baby Underjams Girls 5.b","Anti-Colic Nappflaska 6.b","Amningsnapp 6.c","Leksaker 7.a"]
On mouseUp
currentItem = the mouseLine
if the doubleClick = TRUE then
    handlingslista.add (field(12).line[currentItem])
    sort handlingslista
    set x = count (handlingslista)
    repeat with i = 1 to x
      put handlingslista[i] into member(17).line[i]
    end repeat
end if
end
--This is what the list handlingslista contains:
["Amningsnapp 6.b", "Anti-Colic Nappflaska 6.b", "Barn/Baby Underjams Girls 5.b", "Hår Gummisnodd 1.c", "Leksaker 7.a", "Pincett 2.a", "Protes Rengöring 3.a", "Sprayflaska Plast 4.b"]

Assuming the number always occurs as the last word, you could temporarily store the items in the form ["6.c", "Hår Gummisnodd 1.c"], therefore resulting them being sorted lexicographically based on the last word, like this:
handlingslista = ["Amningsnapp 6.c", "Anti-Colic Nappflaska 6.b", "Barn/Baby Underjams Girls 5.b", "Hår Gummisnodd 1.c", "Leksaker 7.a", "Pincett 2.a", "Protes Rengöring 3.a", "Sprayflaska Plast 4.b"]
repeat with n = handlingslista.count down to 1
handlingslista[n] = [the last word of handlingslista[n], handlingslista[n]]
end repeat
handlingslista.sort()
repeat with n = handlingslista.count down to 1
handlingslista[n] = handlingslista[n][2]
end repeat
put handlingslista
-- ["Hår Gummisnodd 1.c", "Pincett 2.a", "Protes Rengöring 3.a", "Sprayflaska Plast 4.b", "Barn/Baby Underjams Girls 5.b", "Anti-Colic Nappflaska 6.b", "Amningsnapp 6.c", "Leksaker 7.a"]
Alternatively, you could use Javascript, in which Arrays can be sorted based on an arbitrary ordering: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort.

HT2470 How to sort files in finder

Is there any way to sort files in my finder first by kind (folders, pdfs, jpegs, docxs, etc.) and then by name? Right now I can only sort by one or the other. If I sort by kind, the files are grouped according to kind, but the names are mixed up. If I sort by name, all file types and folders are sorted according to name. I like the column view because it helps me see the directory structure easily. I hope that doesn't have any influence on what I'm trying to do.

Choose View > Arrange By > Kind to group by Kind. Then choose Option-View > Sort By > Name to sort within the Arrange-By groups.
See this MacWorld article for more info about Finder sorting and arranging.

How create bath file in run time in java

Hi all
i run one bath file by using process class but i create bath file in run time in java .please help me with code.

Dynamically Writing a batch file in Java is exactly the same as writing to a simple text file.... you just give it the file extension ".bat".
If you can't write to a simple text file yet, you should probably buy a Java book and start working through it.

How to backup files from old time machine to new time machine

I have been using an external drive as my Time Machine for about a year. I just got a Time Capsule. Can I set up Time Machine to move all the backups from my old drive to my new Time Capsule? I assume it's not as simple as dragging the files from my old drive to the Time Capsule drive.
I have clicked Change Disk... in the Time Machine preferences to change my backup drive to the Time Capsule. However, I don't think that's going to move my old backup files to the Time Capsule.

boboosta wrote:
Unfortunately, I do not have enough spare disk space on a temporary disk. I've got 600 GB on my time machine drive. I went ahead and changed my Time Machine disk to the Time Capsule. I'll keep the backup files on my old time machine disk for a few weeks--in hopes a solution is found. After that, I'll erase the old time machine files to free up the disk space.
You might have been able to transfer the old Time Capsule contents to the new one by connecting the old Time Capsule to your computer with an Ethernet cable. If this gave you visibility of the disks of both Time Capsules, then you could use your computer to transfer the "sparsebundle" file(s) from the old to the new.
Now that you've started using your new Time Capsule, if you try once again to transfer those files, you'll lose any interim Time Machine backups, although that may not be a problem.

How to sort files in a PDF binder by date4

I created a portfolio for my paycheck stubs
I would like them sorted by date, in reverse, meaning the latest date appears first
I cannot drag them into the order I want. Why can I not drag files?
I tried renaming all the files with numbers so they appear in sequence (like an index)
But I now can't remember how I got them to sort.

Well, there is also JNI to do a directory listing to a file and then read that. That said, last modified is possibly more appropriate as it tells you last time a file was changed, not just raw age.

How to Copy Files from Corrupt Time Machine Disk

Following a series of power outages, my TM disk became corrupted. When I tried to repair with disk utility, I got the message: Unable to repair, copy as many files as you can and then reformat the disk.
My question: Is there any way to capture all/part of my TM backups (they contain a history going back many months that I'd prefer not to lose)? Though I can dig in and get individual files, when trying for anything larger (like the series of backups), they are unable to copy with the files/folders being locked/read only.
Any help would be appreciated. I'll move to a 2 drive backup system after this!
Thanks

TM performs a backup in a rather unusual manner. An initial backup stores all the files in a disc image file. It then creates a special type of alias for each file. When you look through a TM backup you are looking at the aliases, not the files themselves.
If the drive's directory is the only thing corrupted and Disk Utility cannot repair it, then I suggest trying Disk Warrior that can repair many directory problems that Disk Utility cannot.
Otherwise, you will need to go through the backup with the TM application and attempt to restore the good files to another hard drive. Also,
See User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

How to search files on a Time Machine backup disk only once perfile

Greetings,
Goal: I want to find all user files in a set of Time Machine backups residing on a single disk that contain the string "escalator". Now, there are multiple hard links to each file, so a simple search would search each file multiple times. That would take a very long time. Is there a way that I can search (grep) all text files and mail files only once and list those that contain the string? Note that I only want to search user directories; that is,
/Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/username’s iMac/Latest/Macintosh HD/Users
where "Latest" can also be any of the dates of all the backups.
Thanks!

Well, to clarify:
I want to find all user text files and mail messages on a Time Machine backup disk that contain the word "escalator".
By user files I mean those in
/Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/<username>iMac/*/Macintosh HD/Users
and subdirectories thereof.
I was trying to use the find command, but it was taking a very long time, so I aborted it. I then realized that most of the files have many hard links, and therefore will be searched many times. That, of course, is a great waste.
Is there some way to search each file only once?
Thanks.
