SUMMARY The view menu allows the user to change the sort order of albums and items & allows one to change the sort direction. It would be nice if one could change two, or all of these without having to open the view menu again. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Click on View, Sort Items, then choose an option e.g. By Creation Date. 2. The view menu closes. 3. Click on View, Item Sort Order, then choose an option e.g. Descending. 4. The menu closes again. OBSERVED RESULT The whole menu closes after any view option is specified. EXPECTED RESULT The Sort Item/Album and Sort Order are applied together. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This feature is the same in all versions of digikam
I don't understand this bug report. A menu simply closes when an option is selected. And how are we supposed to use the album and item sorting together? If these functions are needed frequently, a keyboard shortcut could be created. Maik
Created attachment 179868 [details] attachment-2516225-0.html Sorry, this is not a bug. I sometimes need to change the order of items. At present this means View | Sort Items, then View | Item Sort Order. I just thought that it would be possible to add Ascending/Descending at the bottom of the options for sorting items.

Hi Steve, You said "I just thought that it would be possible to add Ascending/Descending at the bottom of the options for sorting items." Where did you expect as the "bottom of" ? The View menu ? Did you know that it's possible to change the toolbar to plugin Vie‹ menu actions inside ? https://imgur.com/jTheWD5 Gilles Caulier
The solution to plugin view option in tool bar is a possible work around. Closed
