Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources using kde 4.1.87 i would like to have folderview plasmoid to sort icon in order desc or asc ( descendent or ascent (bad spelling ? )) usage example : to create a folderview of a folder where all my new download files go to. so on top it would always show the most recent files i downloaded. thanks for the wonderfull desktop
Possible in KDE SC 4.4!
what tha hell ... no it isnt !!!! please put it back as unfixed
(In reply to comment #2) > what tha hell ... no it isnt !!!! > > please put it back as unfixed Oh yes it is, rightclick your folderview, go to settings, go to display and under icons select "sort by date", there you go.
this bug report has nothing to do with "sort by date". it has to do with the possibility to sort by order : ascent or descent. maybe i should have stressed that in the bug report
> usage example : to create a folderview of a folder where all my new download > files go to. so on top it would always show the most recent files i downloaded. Thats what you wrote, "sort by date" provides exactly that. If you want the possibility to revert the order, I guess thats not possible as of now, so I'll change it back to "new". Is that what you want? To take a order (say "sort by date") and then have a button "revert" to revert the order?
currently , sort by date puts my new files at bottom. the sort by date was just an example. what is missing it the order -> asc or descent. the sort by date is just the example i find it the more usable. yes , an order button or option "descent" like dolphin has for its sorting types. thanks
@Jakob: in fact he wrote "to sort icon in order desc or asc". In fact I had put this bug on my watch list exactly for that reason because I wanted this as well :) The use case: have a "Downloads" folder view on my desktop where the newest files are near the top (especially because I want it small, showing only a dozen files while my downloads folder easily holds hundreds of files)
Sorry, my bad... At least this wish got some attention after over a year... I believe a "descending" checkbox would be a good idea and this is a reasonable wish! Good Luck :)
no problem :) thanks

I just installed 4.8.80 and it has that option to sort date DESC. THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
hi, I have kde 4.8.90 but I can't see the option to set the descending order. When clicking to "Sorting" I have: By Name By Size By Type By Date Am I doing something wrong?
That option is not in the settings dialog, but you can right-click on the plasmoid and then choose Icons->Sort Icons->Descending. It's a little unintuitive and maybe someone could add this to the settings dialog as well, but I would suggest you open a new report for that. But sorting in descending order is possible at least.
I didn't see it because I have the plasmoid in a panel, and there the option does not show up even if you right click on the plasmoid. Fortunately, you can set the option while the plasmoid is on the desktop and it will remember when you move it into a panel. I believe it would be nice to have the option directly form the panel, if possible. Oh, and thank you very much for the reply :)
I do not agree with the Fixed resolution at all - the current method of having to pull the folder view to the desktop, right-click & hunt for the right option, then dragging it back is very counter intuitive! In fact, the only reason I found a way to do it was because I wanted to file a bug report and was looking for existing ones, I assume most people would simply give up.
