I have two folders open next to each other, but i want to sort the files by the date and time they were added to the folders, so that if i copy or move files from one folder to another all the latest moved files will be at the top.
Is this possible? I've been playing around with different sort options but I can't seem to get it right.
If you turn off the Preferences / File Operations / Copy Attributes / Preserve the timestamps of copied files option then when you copy a file the new file will have its timestamp set to the current time. If you then sort the list by date the newest files will appear at the top.
This won't work for move though (unless you're moving between different hard drives), because when files are moved on the same drive a new file doesn't get created.
