- Use "Choose columns" to add the "Type" column to a Defined View (I created a new View for this purpose).
Return to the file panel and display that Defined View.
Left-click the "Type" column label to sort the column.
Salamander does not respond.

Re: 2.53 beta 1: Can't sort Type column
Seems like a strange omission, or bug.
Oh, & this is not 2.53 specific as it looks to have been like this since at least 2.0.

Re: 2.53 beta 1: Can't sort Type column
Yes, this is by design. You cannot sort by DOS Name column too.
Re: 2.53 beta 1: Can't sort Type column
By design? That means intentional.
Why would you seek to prevent a user from sorting by the value of any column in the file list?

Re: 2.53 beta 1: Can't sort Type column
We can add such feature in some future version, no problem. But at least for now it is not important thing, we need to do other things.
Re: 2.53 beta 1: Can't sort Type column
Ah, OK. "By design" would definitely be the wrong phrase, then.
As a developer myself, however, it surprises me that the Salamander code doesn't call a generic column sort method that simply uses the contents of the column and is enabled for all columns.
You know: Columns.Sort(Direction) or Columns.Sort(SortMethod, Direction)
Is there something different about the DOS name and Type data that requires special handling?
