Keeping focus on last selected item when changing sort order

[Konrad_Klar]

Example situation:
Lister (in Power Mode) with directory containing many downloaded installers.
Directory is sorted by Modified. Now I select, for example, LibreOffice_4.1.3.2_Win_x86.msi and change sort criterium to Name, to quickly see whether there are other versions of LibreOffice's installers in that directory. This works, but I need to navigate to LibreOffice_4.1.3.2_Win_x86.msi (which is now at different position) to see the effect.

Reset focus entry when sorting file list: Normally when you re-sort the file list by clicking on a column header (in Details mode), the input focus is kept on the same file, even if the file changes position in the list. With this option turned on, input focus is maintained at the same relative position (so for example, if the fifth file down had input focus before you sorted the list, the fifth file down - whatever it is - will still have it afterwards).

Is there a way to achive the same (as default behaviour in Details mode) in Power Mode?

The option you've found should (and does here) already work with both Details and Power modes. Give it a try.

"Reset focus entry when sorting file list" is disabled and (for me) this does not work in Power Mode and works in Detail mode.

Make sure Preferences / File Display Modes / Power Mode / Always in Keyboard Mode is switched on, else there won't be a focus item at all if you've used the mouse to select things.

Working! Thanks for quick response.
