Path sorting is still broken

Post by superduck »

The changelog states 'fixed an issue with path ordering' but it still does not work

Options / Home / Sort / Path (Ascending) is selected

Open a new search window and the path column is sorted but as soon as you start typing something to search for it automatically sorts the name column

This is the expected behavior.
fixed an issue with path ordering

This fixes an issue with treating a '\' in the path as a null character. It was causing issues with the ordering of paths.

The Everything database is sorted by name internally, so each time you execute a search, Everything must revert back to sorting by name. This is for performance reasons. I have plans to add support for sorting the database by name and path internally in a future release..

If you wish to keep the sort by path, please see:
