I am trying to set a specific behaviour when viewing directories but I can't quite achieve it:
I have worked out the display files before folders etc view in Tools/Folder Options.
What I would like to achieve is, when sorting by "Date Modified" show files first then folders, yet when sorting the same directory by "Name" I would like it to show the Folders first and then Files.
That is the default Windows Explorer behaviour that I have become used to. Is it possible to achieve this in DOpus?
Explorer seems to swap the file and folder groups whenever it is reverse sorting (same is true if you reverse-sort by name in Explorer), while Opus has separate settings for whether files come before/after folders or are mixed with them.
You can make Opus reverse-sort the Date Modified column the first time you click on it (Settings -> Preferences -> Fields, then set "reverse standard sort direction" for any columns you want to sort the opposite way the first time you click them), but I don't think there is a way to make Opus do what Explorer does and swap the file/folder order when reverse sorting.
You could make a button/hotkey which does this, though:
Set SORTBY=modified SORTREVERSE=On SORTORDER=Files
(If you've reversed the standard sort order for the modified column, you would want SORTREVERSE=Off instead.)
