Windows 10: MS Windows 10 Films & TV App: sort by Date Created not Added

I recently bought an SSD drive to hold all my videos to increase storage and improve play back performance.


Copied over all my files onto the drive and it sorts by the date I added... but they are ALL added on the same date... the other option is to go Alphabetical... The problem with this is that different sources have different file name format... some have GoPro, or DCM etc... this then will alphabetize FIRST and then follows the sorting which once again throws off the sorting I actually want.


Is there anyway of sorting by CREATED date?

Films & Tv App

Hi Guys

In the Films & Tv app is it possible to get my personal films to arrange by folder rather than all listed by name. I'm sure I had it like that but something has changed and now there all listed on one page sorted by name.

Info - My movies are all stored on an external Hdd in a few different folders not in the default Videos folder

Cheers Danny

 

Films & TV App

Hi Justine,

thank you for helping me. I followed the steps that you outlined in your reply, but when I reached step 3 a small frame opened, however, I could not edit to remove the device. This was display only. The document appears to be saying you can only remove a
device by logging in to that device.

For your info I am running Windows 10 Pro in S mode. version 1803 OS build 17134.254.

In the support documents is says:-

Sort by date added to folder

Hi there, thanks for your question.

In File Explorer, all sorting options can be viewed by following these steps:

- Open the folder and right click inside of it, not on a file.

- Go to Sort by > More.

This brings up a list of all possibilities of what to sort by. It doesn't look like there's an options for "date added to folder", but one of the other Date options may help, such as Date Created. You could create a copy of the file and move it in, so that
the date created matches the date added to the folder?

Please let me know if you need more information! Thanks!
