This is an example of how to use the Dopus 11.5.1 and higher to create a custom column to allow custom sorting.
As requested by Julianon in Extreme custom sort.
In the code below, we define an array (config.sortOrder) that contains a list of the file extensions, and the sort value for that extension. Multiple columns can be configured.
// The OnInit function is called by Directory Opus to initialize the script add-in
function OnInit(initData) {
// Provide basic information about the script by initializing the properties of the ScriptInitData object
initData.name = "Custom Sort Column";
initData.desc = "Adds that allows extension sorting in a custom order";
initData.copyright = "2014 wowbagger";
initData.min_version = "11.5.1"
initData.version = "1.1";
initData.default_enable = true;
// Create a new ScriptColumn object and initialize it to add the column to Opus
for(var i = 0; i < config.columns.length; ++i) {
var cmd = initData.AddColumn();
cmd.name = config.columns[i].name;
cmd.method = "OnCustomSort";
cmd.label = config.columns[i].name;
cmd.autogroup = true;
cmd.justify = "left";
}
}
var config = {
columns: [{
name: "CustomSort", //Sample sort config 1
sortOrder: [{
extension:"pdf",
sortKey: "1"
}, {
extension:"txt",
sortKey: "2"
}, {
extension:"tex",
sortKey: "3"
}, {
extension:"dvi",
sortKey: "4"
}, {
extension:"log",
sortKey: "7"
}, {
extension:"ptp",
sortKey: "8"
}]
}, {
name: "CustomSort2", //Sample sort config 2
sortOrder: [{
extension:"txt",
sortKey: "1"
}, {
extension:"",
sortKey: "1.5"
}, {
extension:"log",
sortKey: "2"
}]
}],
debug: false
}
// Implement the OnCustomSort column (this entry point is an OnScriptColumn event).
function OnCustomSort(scriptColData) {
var columnConfig = GetConfig(scriptColData.col);
if(!columnConfig) return;
var ext = scriptColData.item.ext.replace(".","").toLowerCase();
var sortOrder = GetSortOrder(columnConfig, ext);
if (!sortOrder) {
scriptColData.value = config.debug ? "0:nomatch" : "";
scriptColData.sort = 0;
return;
}
else
{
scriptColData.value = config.debug ? sortOrder.sortKey + ":" + sortOrder.extension : sortOrder.extension;
scriptColData.sort = sortOrder.sortKey;
}
}
function GetSortOrder(columnConfig, extension)
{
var match = null;
for(var i = 0; i < columnConfig.sortOrder.length; ++i) {
if(columnConfig.sortOrder[i].extension.toLowerCase() == extension) {
match = columnConfig.sortOrder[i];
break;
}
}
return match;
}
function GetConfig(key)
{
var match = null;
for(var i = 0; i < config.columns.length; ++i) {
if(config.columns[i].name == key) {
match = config.columns[i];
break;
}
}
return match;
}
How to use
Place the code (.vbs or .js) or .osp file into your Script AddIns folder (/dopusdata/Script AddIns).
You will then find the "CustomSort" column in Folder Options in the new Script category.
If you create your own custom sort scrips please share.
