Description D. Debnath 2020-01-11 19:18:09 UTC 
Currently, Group By = Sort By. 

I will explain why I'm not satisfied with the current scenario. By default, I like to Group By: Filetype and Sort By: Name. But there are scenarios where I would like to Group By: Filetype and Sort By: Date Modified, for example the Downloads folder. Currently, if Group By is set to filetype, then it sorts by Name, which works for me in general, but if I want to Sort By date modified, then I also have to group by date modified, which is terrible. Even Windows Explorer has this feature.

Also, I should be able to Group By and Sort By on per folder basis.

Any hope of getting this in Plasma 6?
