Studio 2017 - how to sort the Files View by date?

I'd like to sort the files in the Files View by date, and can't find such a simple option (date) among the sorting/columns options.

Can anybody help?

Thank you

  • Hi Pawel,

    There isn't one. If you work with packages, or GroupShare projects then you do have more sorting options relevant to this but if you create the projects yourself you can't sort by date. Projects yes, Files no.

    One option is to rename the files before preparing them and then use the name to sort on. So something like the tool described in this article might support adding timestamps in bulk to the start of each filename and then you could use that... or number them in the priority you want.

    I'm guessing you just keep adding files to one project per client so this is why you want a date sort order? might have an interesting solution for this as I know she uses an autohotkey script to help manage work in a process like this.

    Regards
