When viewing a large collection of files in a lister, sorted by file name, I select a file in the middle of the collection. Then I sort by the date column.
The scroll bar remains in the middle of the file list in order to show the still-highlighted file.
I would like the scroll bar to automatically scroll to the top of the file list when I sort by any particular column. Is there an option to configure this? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks!
Just use the home key when you actually want that move? Or the end key when you want the opposite?
Yes, that works. I was hoping to simplifying that step.
Just as often as I want to be at the top after a sort, I want to be where I was – or just a bit further up or further down. So I don't mind having to burn a few calories or milliseconds with a keystroke

Middle-clicking any column header will take you to the top.
If you want to bind a hotkey, try this command, which will select the first item in the list:
Select FIRST MAKEVISIBLE=immediate
Thanks. Good to know!
If you want the list not to scroll the old focus/selection into view after changing sorting:
Errante's suggestion of middle-clicking the header is also still useful, whether or not you use that setting. (E.g. If you're already scrolled down and want to jump to the top after left-clicking the header to sort by it.)
Great! Thanks, Leo and everyone.
