List of recent items chronologically, not alphabetically

I would like the list of 'recent items' to be in time order, not by alphabet order. How do I do this? bryngary

What I did was create myself a couple of SmartFolders, which you can customize in all sorts of ways. Thus I have one that finds all Documents in my home folder that were modified in the last week (and there are 42 of them at moment--one advantage of the SmartFolders is there is no limit to the number of items), and they are listed chronologically. I also have a SmartFolder for Applications opened this week, arranged alphabetically. And so on. I save these custom SmartFolders to the default SavedSearches folder in my home Library, and keep the folder in the Dock for instant access. You can even have Recent Items that don't exist in the Finder's Recent Items--thus I have one that lists by date modified all folders that were opened this week.

  • Can "recent items" in the Finder be chronological, not alphabetical?

    I'd like to display them chronologically (by last used) rather than alphabetically, since if you're looking for a recent item that would tend to be the way you'd look for it......isn't it?
    Is there any way to do this?

    I couldn't find a preference to control the order, so I think it is hard coded, but could be wrong.

  • Why recent items are not shown in notification center (only unchecked appear)?

    Hi guys,
    in notification center (ios 5 iphone 4s) I am able to view only uncheck notification, as unread mail or tweet, events programmed for the next day and so on. It seems strange becouse in setting-->notification center--> you can choose:
    1,5,10 unread message for mail and
    1,5,10 recent items for other apps.
    does anybody know how to make appear recent item in notification center? or should I suppouse that recent items mean unchecked items?
    ps: and there's also no notification in notification center for facebook. did anybody fix it?

    No, it does not add that reference.

  • List of recent Lightroom Catalogs not showing in the dialog at launch

    I have a friend using Lightroom 3 on a Windows 7 PC. She uses multiple catalogs. (one for each client) as do I.
    Now when she launches LR the list of recent catalogs is empty. Could this be cleared some where? Why do they not show up and  will they start showing up again after she opens different catalogs?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    If LR uses the Windows recent-files facility, and I’m not saying it does, then clearing recent documents in another area of Windows might have cleared LR’s too.    A question back to her would be whether other recent-documents lists have disappeared or only the LR-catalog recent list.  The recent-files would be user-profile specific, too, I think, so logging in with a different user would make things look different. 
    If the LR recent-library-list is something internal to LR and unrelated to the OS, then it could be part of the preferences, and if she reset preferences for any reason, then that might have cleared the catalog list.
    If this is on a Mac, then I’m not sure, but I’d expect the OS has a recently-opened-files facility, too, and that such things are tied to the user.
    Unless there is some permission problem or corruption that has caused them to disappear, they probably should start showing up, again.  It’d be easy enough for her to check, just open LR and open a catalog, then close LR and open LR, again and see if the just-opened catalog shows in the list.  If so then there’s probably nothing more to do, except not do whatever cleared the list in the first place, where we can’t really know what she did since we weren’t there.

  • Sharepoint Designer - Two step List Workflow task item is not changing the status from not started to Complete

    Hi 
    Using SPD i am creating list workflow.
    Scenario: Employee submits a request . Task assign to manager. Manager can either approve/ reject. If approve then change the state column to "done". If rejected the state column to "Rejected".
    Problem is "Assign a to do item" is assigning the task to manager. But after manager approves the status in the task list not changed to "Completed". Still it is showing "Not started". I dont want to manually complete the task.
    Please help me for automatic process. 
    What i should do to change the status to "Complete" automatically after manager approval
    Regards
    Jhanani
    Janani.R

    Hi Janani,
    From your description, you would like to create an approval workflow for a list. When an employee submit a request to the list, an approval task should be assigned to manager, then manager could approve or reject the request. From the request list,
    we should be able to see the Approval task’s status.
    Not understand the reason of designing the workflow to two steps, an approval action should be enough from my understanding. For producing, I create a list named Request list, then customize it in InfoPath form to add a Request field for stating request
    content. Then add a workflow to list named Approval task, add the action of Start an approval process with administrator and make the workflow automatically start when item is added.
    The image below shows the status of Adding items, Approving and Rejecting. Please check if it could meet your requirement.

  • Recent Items menu will not remember my recent items

    On MacOS X 10.5 going into the preferences and changing recent items did not work. I set it to none closed it then reopened it and set it back to 10. I even deleted the com.apple.recentitems.plist in the preference folder and restarted and it still did not change the recent items listed. Please help this is annoying.

    I am sorry that last message was vague. The problem that was happening until the other day was that pages, numbers, preview were not listing any of my recent items even though I had ten listed in the preferences. I tried everything to fix it to no avail then last week they started working again and I have no idea why.
    Thanks for you time.

  • Find and item Search not working inside custom list in sharepoint 2013

    HI,
    In Sharepoint 2013 , i configured the Search. it is working in home page search Box and Find item search box  inside custom list as well But one particualr custom list  Find an item is not working. Any clue ?Thanks in Advance
    Thanks
    sanjay pradhan  

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is “find an item” search box in a custom list not work in your environment.
    As search box and “find an item” search box in your home page are working, so the search service application is working.
    Do you have any customzation to the particular custom list ?
    If No, I suggest you can full crawl the data in Central Administration ->Manage Service Application->” Search Service Application”-> Manage Content Sources” to test if it works. 
    Also, please check if you have set "Allow items from this list to appear in search results" in list settings->Advanced Setting to true
    Best Regards

  • Pages, recent items not working

    OS 10.7.5, Pages 4.2
    Recent Items do not show recent items.
    Anyone else?

    fruhulda,
    Thank you for your prompt response. However, it does not appear to have worked. My methodology is as follows:
    1. I located the com.appl.iWork.Pages.LSSharedFileList.plist and put it into the Trash.
    2. I deleted the file from the Trash.
    3. I opened Pages.
    4. I then opened three documents in Pages
    5. I then closed two of those documents.
    6. I then checked my "Open Recent" menu and found nothing but greyed out "Clear Menu" again.
    I believe I'd done this previously as well with the same results. Any other ideas? Thanks again.
    David
    I was going to insert a screen shot, but the "Clear Menu" didn't show on it.

  • Duplicate Items in Recent Items menu

    HI,
    Just recently (in the last couple of weeks) I have suddenly been getting duplicate entries in the recent items folder (not in the apple menu as has been discussed elsewhere). I have 2 entries for Disk Utility, ITunes, Terminal etc. I have checked the plist with Onyx and it says the syntax is OK. I have cleared all items in the list. It behaved fine for a few days then the duplicates reappeared again. Should I try deleting the plist file? I currently have the recent items settings for 30 Apps, 5 docs and no servers.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.
    Peter

    Last thing to try, then, is rebuilding the LaunchServices database by running this one-line command in the Terminal app (copy & paste), and restart:
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

  • Lost my pass words in appleworks recent items

    I had all my pass words in the recent items file and had the file in the dock. The icon in the dock has a question mark on it and will not open, I go to appleworks file/staring points/recent items. Recent items will not open , a window comes up to tell me it unexpectedly quit. I go to finder and open recent items and click on the pass word icon and I get the message that the alias can't find the original. I have about 30 pass words in that file , I appreciate any help. Thanks,
    steve

    Spotlight is pretty simple; you just click on the little Search icon which is probably in your menu bar and then type the filename into the window. If something of that name exists on your system then it stands a very good chance of finding it.
    Yvan already mentioned one likely way that the file may have gone missing, i.e., using Finder actions like renaming the file on an AW file while it's open. This is a well-known bug of long standing which has never been fixed and, clearly, isn't going to be.
    I don't think it would have been erased, but the effect is the same: When the 'address' is lost to the system that small chunk of memory will be listed as available and, eventually, something else will move in and write over it.

  • Some items in not copied because they could not be found

    Hi - I recently had a corruption problem and had to restore the IPod. Now when I sync, I get the following message:
    "Some of the items in the ITunes Library, including" [list of 118 items] "were not copied because they could not be found".
    Is there a way I can tell the Library where to find the files? They are all on my computer, and it can find another 900+ items, but can't find these 118.
    Alternatively, is there a way to purge all of the "not found" items from the library so that I can conveniently reload them? Since the library lists them I don't know a simple way to track them down, short of writing down all 118 items from the error message box.
    Thanks

    I have the same problem and it's really annoying. It always seems to be about the same # of songs too, around 100
    First I thought it was because of Vista. I rebuilt my PC with XP, reinstalled iTunes, resynced all 45GB of files and it seemed ok. It worked for a day or two, then today I plugged in my ipod to sync and it couldn't find some files again. It also is now showing duplicate filenames for many songs.
    Nothing has changed, I have not moved any files on my PC or anything. The only difference is the Ipod wasn't connected since yesterday

    Hi Debasis,
    You can delete the PDS by using /SAPAPO/CULL_RTO_DEL - Delete Production Data Structure . And recif the it to APO. You can use CURTO_CREATE for it.

  • Unknown Servers in Recent Items

    I have a small network in my home over a Time Capsule and Airport Extreme. I have the Time Capsule set up as a server to use its hard drive. In my recent servers list under Recent Items, there are a number of servers with what appear to be Japanese characters. What is this?? I don't recognize any of these.

    If I can help set your mind at rest, this is normal. If you look in the Finder preferences (if you can find them -- see below) they are fourth in the list of items to show on the desktop, and I would guess that this may be related.
    The names you are seeing my be partitions on the disks you have been connecting to.
    It sounds as if you have major disk corruption and the fact that it filled up suddenly suggests the Finder was unable to report the data correctly. If you have the data off (backed up) then you will lose nothing by trying to erase and then reinstalling the OS. If there are any problems during that process, it would indicate a defective hard disk and replacement is the best option.

  • FICA - List of unposted items

    Hi All,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between "List of Unposted Items" and "Clarification Cases" in Payment or Return Lot.
    I have posted one return lot and the item is transferred to both "List of Unposted Items" and "Clarification Cases".
    Thanks,
    Banasri Mitra

    Hi Banasri,
    Well, basically items in 'List of unpsted item' are not posted and rework may be needed in clarrification.
    In some cases, returns lot might be posted but no document is created (due to short dump during posting or system customizing prohibiting use of clearing documents putting returns  in clearing mode without creating no document etc.). In that case, items might not be in 'List of unposted items' even though no returns document is created. I created SAP Note 1261198 on how to delete such returns lot.
    Your particular example need to be investigated to determine the cause of not being the listof unposted items.
    regards,
    David
