    Windows 10 Search Results sorting priortiy


    I have a drive with folders name with only numeric values, 1 through 10000+. The explorer window sorts correctly in ascending or descending numeric value, but when i use the Windows Explorer search function, it seems to completely ignore any folder over 9999.


    I would like a way to simply search this drive based on the most recently created folders first, then descend.

    :)

    how to sort search results without searching AGAIN?

    Apologies.

    In Windows 10, yes, this will search again if you try to sort the search result.

    I would suggest that you put a feedback through feedback hub.

    Sorting Search Results Changes Date Accessed

    When I use the search feature of File Explorer in Windows 10 to generate a list of files that meet a certain criteria (a partial name search or a date accessed range for example) it behaves as expected returning a list of files. If, however, I then click
    on the file name column to sort the results of the search by file name, the Date Accessed date and time update to the current date and time.

    I have disabled my virus and firewall products and get the same result, I also booted into Safe mode and got the same results.

    Is there a way to stop this from happening as there are occasions where I am specifically looking for a date and time accessed and don't want them to update based on me sorting the search results.

    Thanks.
