Does not Remember Sort By "Date Created"

Post by zabe.us »

Everything v1.4.1.1024 x64 Installed as a service

Summary: I have been telling Everything to "Sort By->Date Modified", and closing the window so it only exists as a system tray icon. When I reopen the window, it normally maintains that "Sort By" criteria. However if I select "Date Created" as the Sort, and close the window, it reverts to "Name" sort upon reopening.

Steps to reproduce this issue:

1. From View menu Sort the results in the Everything window by the "Date created" column in descending order.

2. Close the Everything window.

3. Open the Everything window. The icons have been reordered. Observe from the View->Sort By menu that sort is now set to "Name, Ascending".

Please let me know if you have any questions about my configuration or if I posted the bug report in the wrong place.
Thank you.

Everything will only remember fast sorts.

To make Date Created a fast sort:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Check Index date created.
  • Check Fast Date created sort.
  • Click OK.
