Sort order in new finder

Can someone please confirm...
Does the new finder still sort folders in with files in the new finder? I would buy it in a heartbeat if it sorts more like Windows (folders separate from files).

So you can....

  • Sort order for "News"

    I have the "News" Layout Set running.
    The sort order in the portal display is oldest top, newest at the bottom.
    Is there a way to change the order the other way around, without "Manual" intervention, i.e. not moving the news around by hand?

    Hi Holger
    To Roberts answer I can add that you should choose "Descending" in "Sorting Mode" (click "show advanced options" in the collection renderer to see this option).
    At the same time you should consider if "modified" as sorting-property meets your requirements. Often when working with news items, it makes more sense if you use "created". The problem with "modified" is that an edited news item will turn up as the latest news - even if you only corrected a spelling error or the like.
    Kind regards,
    Martin

  • Toggle Finder sort order with AppleScript under Lion 10.7?

    For years I've been using this AppleScript to toggle the sort order of a Finder window:
    if sort direction of column id size column of list view options of window 1 is normal then
        set sort direction of column id size column of list view options of window 1 to reversed
    else
        set sort direction of column id size column of list view options of window 1 to normal
    end if
    (You can replace size with kind, name, modification date, etc.)
    But ever since Lion, this no longer works!
    The little arrow in the column header DOES change, but the items do not re-sort.
    Any way to get this working?

    Why not just click on the columns?

  • Sort order of alphanumeric file names in Finder

    File Name Sorting
    I often using dates for file names - for letters and for photos in particular, with a format something like yymmdd, e.g., today's date, December 27, would be 071227. Occasionally I may use 20071227. If I have the year and month but do not have a specific date, the file name might look like 0712xx. The sort sequence of files in the various Finder views does not seem to be what I would expect, based on standard computer alphanumeric sorting rules. Here is what I am finding - three files beginning with file names 0708xx, 070212 and 070521 will appear in the Finder list as follows:
    0708xx
    070212
    070521
    whereas I would expect the proper sort order to be:
    070212
    070521
    0708xx
    If I change "xx" to "00" then the sort order is strictly numerical, i.e.,
    070212
    070521
    070800
    No one can explain why the files sort per the first list above, if I use the "xx" convention for the date. Is there a Leopard bug, or is the sort order based on an algorithm I am unfamiliar with.

    Tom's comprehensive article provides the answer but is perhaps a bit much for those looking for a simple, easy to remember rule. The brief one at File System Overview: Sorting Rules may be useful in this respect:
    "Digit sub-strings are sorted by numeric value rather than as characters."
    IOW, much like a human would naturally do, the Finder considers numeric expressions as potentially multi-character entities.
    Except ... just like humans, it seems not to know what to do with leading zeros. Try this:
    Create a new folder & add to it 4 sub-folders named as follows (all "0" characters are zeros):
    2
    2aa
    02
    02aa
    Note that in list view, Leopard sorts them by name as follows:
    02
    2
    02aa
    2aa
    But, try selecting them in order by hitting the tab key repeatedly, which should move you down the list one item after the other ... but doesn't.

  • How to change Finder View Arrange Date Created sort order

    When yoo go to a list of photos in a file under Finder, they can be sorted in different ways, but the most common one for me is by Date Created.  That's all good, but they come out with the latest date first on the list and the earliest at the bottom.  I prefer the opposite to be ideal, but I can find no way or information on how to reverse the sort order.  Any help out there? Thanks.

    Hi, Richard -
    Look for a small triangle in the column's title bar/button. Click on that triangle - it should switch from pointing down to pointing up (or vice versa), indicated the sort order has been reversed.

  • Sort Order in Finder

    Hi all,
    I've got a very easy question, but didn't found a solution. How can I change sort order in finder in Snow Leopard to bring the folders to the top?
    Kind Regards, Chrischmi

    There is no known trick to do that? I just found some for Leopard, but they seem not to work in Snow Leopard. I can't believe, that such a basic functionality is not available by default. I thought, I would be just too blind to find it.
    Grouping is helpful, but a workaround only. Thanks for that hint, Matt!
    Anyone else with an idea?

  • 'Film Rolls' View loses sort order when finding photos via Keywords or text

    I have my iPhoto Library sorted by Film Roll so when I select 'Library' in the source list I see my rolls listed in date order in the viewing area.
    If I try and find photos using the keywords pane or the search field the rolls which match are displayed in the viewing area but the order they are listed is no longer according to their date but some (seemingly) random order.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I find that if I have my rolls sorted by Film roll and Ascending (by roll date) the keyword search results will have the rolls in the correct chronological order.
    However if I change the sort order to Descending , the search order remains as Ascending by roll date.
    If you create a Smart album for a keyword search then you can sort the photos by any criteria you'd like: Date, Keyword (redundant), Rating or Title and Ascending or Descending.
    Do you Twango?

  • Changing sort order in Finder to display folder first

    In almost every other release of OS X there was a tweak to edit the frameworks so that you could have finder, when sorting by "Kind/Type"you could display folders first. Well of course they broke that in Leopard.
    Has anyone discovered a way to reinstate this nice little feature so that folders don't appear at the bottom of the list view but at the TOP like PathFinder?
    For those that are curious here WAS the "tweak" (go to System: Library: Frameworks: ApplicationServices.framework: Versions: A: Frameworks: LaunchServices.framework: Versions: A: Resources. Whew. Within that folder, you’ll see the English.lproj folder. Highlight it, and then select File: Get Info. In the Ownership & Permissions area, click on the Details triangle, click on the lock icon, and then click on the Owner pop-up menu and set it to your user name (enter your password if asked). Leave this window open; you’ll be changing it back in just a minute.
    Inside the English.lproj folder is a file named Localized.strings. Drag it onto TextEdit. Find the line that reads "Folder" = "Folder"; and insert a space before the F in the second Folder.)
    TIA,
    Peter

    there is no way to change the sort order in column-view. This was under discussion since the very first release of MacOS X but never made it into any one of the releases.

  • Finder - changing sort order in column view

    Anyone know a way to change the sort order when using the COLUMN view in Finder? It's defaulting to alpha and I'd like to change it so when I'm viewing a particular folder the contents are displayed by Date Modified like I can when using the other views.
    THANKS!

  • How to find Sort order in material master UOM

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me how to find the sort order for unit of measurement for UOM in additional data tab in material master.
    If you see the db table, its stored in another order other than how its displayed on the screen.
    Thanks,
    Sujith.

    It appears that it is sorting on the MSEHI in the t006a. This is the internal representation of the UOM. It is doing the same in the material master, you just can't see the internal field there.    In my system here is how it is sorting.    The commerical is what you see in the material master, the internal is what it is sorted by.
    Internal     Commerical  Description
    A             A          A         
    B45           QML        kmol      
    BAR           BAR        bar

  • 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.

  • Incorrect Sort Order - On Home Page - News and Announcements

    On the Company sub-pages "News and Announcements" the sort order is correct. The most recently added News or Announcements is at the top of the list sorted by Publish Date.
    However on the Home Page they are not.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    There is Enhancement Request on this problem created on Metalink (Bug 5571606) for about a year. It is marked as "Very desirable feature" but no info about when this desireable feature will be available. I asked Portal consultant at Oracle Services and was told, it depends on how many and how big customers would request this feature on behalf of their valid Support Contract.
    So the only way I think is to create Service Requests on Metalink asking for patch.
    I did in September 2006, what about you dear colleagues?
    Regards Jiri Rohlicek

  • Sort Order of All Unplayed Episodes

    The sort order of all unplayed episodes is from Newest to Oldest, which is backwards for me.
    Why would I listen to the Newest episode first? It completely breaks any chronology of the podcasts!
    I found that you can change this for individual podcasts if you find the details by clicking on the podcast title to open its preferences, but the big list does not have the option.
    Please, give me the option to ORDER THE UNPLAYED EPISODES OLDEST AT TOP TO NEWEST AT BOTTOM!
    Thanks, in advance.

    This did the trick for me, Harry. Thanks!
    I was surprised to see you can/must set this on a podcast-by-podcast basis, but it is hard to argue with having finer control. Oldest to newest seems like a slightly more logical default, but that may just be personal preference.
    Not to split off in a new direction, but if I then subscribe to a podcast in Podcasts app that I already subscribe to in iTunes, is it recommended I turn off syncing between iTunes and my iPhone for that podcast? Or will this question basically go away when iOS 6.0 is released?
    Do the Podcasts app and the Music/iPod app share podcast files? Or will they be duplicated on my iPhone?
    Tom
    The podcasts will duplicate themselves on your device. I turned off podcast syncing on my devices. But the weird thing is that when I sync, podcasts then copy themselves to my iTunes library. Either sync or don't, but don't copy to both.

  • Need help saving Bridge file sort order

    Is there a way to save the sort order in Bridge CS4? The default in mine is "By Date Created", and I would prefer it defaulted to "By Filename". I change it to sort according to filename, but it just reverts back to date created next time I open the window. I'm sure this is a really obvious setting that I am missing, but cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated.

    You can save the sort order as part of a workspace, Use the triangle at top
    of the Bridge window (left to the search option) and in here choose new
    workspace.
    Obvious you first have to set everything you like to appear as you want it
    in this new workspace, including the sort order...
    For better overview you can drag the vertical line next to the workspace
    names to the left to extend them to the left.
    I'm sure this is a really obvious setting that I
    am missing, but cannot find it.

  • First name last name sort order-how to correct on iphone

    hello all.
    i have mobile me (hate that name) set correctly with the sort order of first name first in my extensive contacts list and the same in my address book on my main mac, yet my new iphone stubbornly refuses to order the contacts correctly, instead listing names by second name. as a result i am finding it almost impossible to use effectively as i know very few people by their last names.
    help!
    thanks

    I go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar. Then scroll down to bottom choices of Contacts. Set both Sort order and Display to Last, First. It worked for me.
