    Sorting files inside sub folders


    I have a bunch of pdf's in 29 folders. And I need them to stay in those folders but I also need to see all the files inside these folders sorted by date added/modified. Is this possible?

    Almost as if I could search "pdf:date modified" in the folder containing all 29 sub folders.

    Listing number of files inside a large collection of sub folders

    I have a single folder with over 2000 subfolders inside.

    Each subfolder has a collection of different files inside.

    How can I list the number of files inside each subfolder?

    Ideally something like this:

    Outputting the results as a CSV file would be preferable, but I am open to any solutions that don't require downloading additional software.

    I have already got DU from SysInternals, does this help?

    Sorting folders by the last files inside it

    I recently dragged and dropped from an external hard drive and now my pictures folders are all randomized.

    The picture files itself still retained its date modified but the folder holding it is sorted by date created(which is all of them at the same time) . Can i sort the folders using the latest file in the folders' date?

    It's hard to find what i last saved. Before i screwed myself,i sorted it with ''Date Last Saved''.

    And for future reference, how do i copy a folder+its sub-folders without changing these data(exact copy,order and everything).

  4. Sorting files inside sub folders

    sub folders

    Hi Paulette,

    You can move the sub-folder by dragging the sub-folder from the other Picture Folder up to the main Picture Folder. However, the sub-folder will remain as a sub-folder.

    If you want to make the sub-folder as a stand alone folder, we suggest that you create a new folder on your desired location, then move over the files from the sub-folder to the new folder that you created.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Regards.
