Is there any way to automatically save the folder view and sorting for each folder?
Windows File Explorer automatically saves the view and sorting when you leave the folder.
I need this!
There should be a Folder button on your tool bar and click it to choose Folder Option. In the first page, there should be a Save folder setting or make it the default for all other folder. Once you have set up your sort criteria, you can save it for the folder or system wide.
The source's format can be saved with
Set SAVEFORMAT=folder
To automate the process you could have this command executed by an event triggered script.
Suitable events could be
OnBeforeFolderChange
OnActivateLister
OnSourceDestChange
depending on your definition of "when you leave the folder".
