I need to be able to automatically sort some folders in a different order. I've been advised to create a folder format. How do I do this?

You should have a closer look to the FAQ of this forum. You'll find leo's Folder Format Quick Guide and lots of other useful stuff for beginners there.

Have a look at the [FAQs](http://resource.dopus.com/viewforum.php?f=11). In particular, the [Folder Formats: Detailed Guide](https://resource.dopus.com/t/folder-formats-detailed-guide/11718/1) entry.

Thanks, I did what I needed, took me a bit of time, though. In my opinion, it should be a bit more easier, may be the developers will consider simplifying this procedure in the future.
