[Solved] Column sorting after rebuild

Post by w64bit »

In 1244 (all fast sort = OFF), after force rebuild, the column sorting is moving to Path column instead of the Name column (like it is in 1007).
Only Name remain to Name.
This behavior it's used in 1244 for a specific purpose?

Have you set sort to name, then Quit, then started again?

Tools, Options, Home, defaults to remembering last used column & sort.
So if you last had the sort set to Path... when your reopen the next time, it would (still) be on path.

I set all not to be last used.
The behavior is the same.

Everything will keep the current sort if it is a fast sort.

Path is always a fast sort in Everything 1.5 (in Everything 1.4 you had to enable this)

You cannot disable fast sort for paths in Everything 1.5 as it is needed to make changes to your index efficiently (folder renaming and deleting from your index).

Would you like Everything to reset your sort to name when changing your search (or after a rebuild)?

One way to do this now is to set the Sort in your Everything filter:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize filters....
  • Select Everything and click Edit....
  • Change the Sort to Name.
  • Click OK.
  • Click OK.
