Sorting in thumbnail view?

[John G.]

Just as a feature suggestion, it would be great if we could sort (maybe as a right-click menu option?) when in the thumbnail view. Often, I find it would be beneficial to sort by Size or Last Modified Date or Path when in the thumbnail view. (I actually thought that this used to work by switching to List View, doing the sorting, and then switching back to Thumbnail view -- but that doesn't appear to be the case in the current version -- so I'm not sure if it just no longer works that way or if I'm just remembering wrong.)

 

In any case, just wanted to throw that out there. Thanks!

Bump. Any remember if this at least USED to be the case like I think I remember? Again, it seems like this used to work -- and now does not. Or am I just remember wrong and, therefore, this is just a new feature request/suggestion as opposed to a "this seems to have stopped working" thing?

 

Thanks!

Yes, this would be a good idea. I don't ever remember it being implemented in any release. As there are no date or size columns in thumbnail view perhaps just to maintain the sort order from the list view would be a reasonable compromise?

[John G.]

Indeed -- that is what I was thinking would work. Another option would be to have a right-click option to "sort by" from the thumbnail view.
