F5 refresh and sort order

Hi

If I add custom columns, for example General -> Total File Count, or any image metadata, sorting no longer works as expected.

The first time I press the custom column heading, the display is sorted, but after that, whether I navigate to a sub-folder or press F5, the folder is treated as 'unsorted' and appears in a seemingly random order.

Pressing F5 repeatedly appears to shuffle the directory listing, and I need to click the column heading twice to force a re-sort in the direction I need.

I don't think this is new. Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks

Is the sort arrow red when that happens?

Red means the data for the sort column has not been (re-)calculated yet. Total File Count can take a while to calculate if the folders are deep.

No, sorry. The folders in this case aren't deep, so the totals are calculated pretty much instantly.

I enabled "General -> Total File Count". which updated nearly instantly. Hit the column heading to
enable sort, and pressed F5 to refresh..

This is the result.

Thanks for the report, this will be fixed in the next update.

This is fixed in the 12.17.1 beta.
