  1. Windows 10 sort files in folder for more attributes


    I'd like to know if there is a feature in Windows 10 that allows the user to sort files using multiple attributes: I have folders full of photos taken with different cameras that show the date they were taken at different attributes; dates could be stored as

    - last Modified
    - last Acquisition
    - last Creation

    - ...

    I'd like to sort them using some kind of algorithm that checks if the default attributes it should be sorted by exists for the current file, and if it doesn't, another attributes will be used for that file as default, like
    ```
    sortFolderWithOptionssortAttribute1,sortAttribute2,... {
    /* every file gets a default attributes to be sorted by */
    arraySortAttributes = ArrayFolder.fileLenght.fillsortAttribute1;
    fori = 0, i < Folder.fileLenght, i++ {
    /* but if the default sort attribute for this file is missing, the next sort attribute is used instead, for this file */
    ifFolder.file.sortAttribute1 == null arraySortAttributes = sortAttribute2;
    }
    /* using default Windows Folder sorting algorithm */
    defaultWndowsSortFolderarraySortType;
    }

    sortFolderWithOptionslastAcquisition,lastCreation;
    ```
    If nothing like this exist for Windows, is there a way to make this sort anyway or change file data quickly for a large amount of files not manually?

    :)

  2. changing file and folder attributes

    Continuing the theme of changing attributes....
    i now realise that certain file attributes can’t be user defund, as they are read only....
    But it seems gilders are even worse.....I have 12 folders January to December.......but windows list these alphabetically......such that April is first followed by August.

    cant see any way of changing the sort order, although there may be a way to sort by an attribute, but it seems that It is NOT possible to assign ANY folder attributes......nothing much has changed in this matter since XP....

    unless anyone one knows differently

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 sort files in folder for more attributes

    sort folders and files in explorer

    In explorer and windows 7, I would see the folders at the top of the list and they would be followed by the files with the least recent file appearing at the bottom of the list. It seemed to be the default setting in windows 7.

    But I can't replicate that appearance with windows 10. The following post seems relevant but doesn't provide me the answer: Possibility to sort files by multiple attributes under windows 7

    TIA ... Greg
