Save sort order?

Post by FrostyOfTheNorth »

Is there a way to force Everything to reuse whatever sort order I used for the previous session? e.g. if I sort search results by date by descending order, the next time I open Everything I have to click the column headers again. I'd like those settings to be saved between sessions.

Everything will only remember 'fast' sorts.

Please make sure your date sort is set to 'fast' under Tools -> Options -> Indexes.

Please check your home sort under Tools -> Options -> Home -> Sort.

To force Everything to remember the last sort (not recommended):
Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
/always_keep_sort=1
Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
If successful, always_keep_sort=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
(Enabling can make Everything rather slow on startup)

Perfect. I'll try these steps out.

Thank you.
