Sorting folders and projects

Ernst -- Have you looked into using the very useful Projects View?

Date sort is built-in, ascending or descending.

Imho, there is no need to replicate this in one's Library organization. As you've discovered, if you want to, you have to resort to faking date sorting by using names that when alphabetically sorted are also (because of how you coded the names) date sorted. (The computer has no knowledge of this -- it is simply executing a date sort.)

I can think of many reasons that the Library is not sort-able by date. One must be that "date" is an attribute that you expect to be assigned to the images in the Library containers. Note that the sorting options are attributes of the containers themselves, not of the Images they contain. (You can imagine sorting the containers by the date they were created -- but that's not what you want.) Another is that sorting any outline by lines is complex and involves a number of assumptions that may not be shared by a plurality of users.

Gah. Please understand that where I wrote this:

"The computer has no knowledge of this -- it is simply executing a date sort."

I meant this:

The computer has no knowledge of this -- it is simply executing an alpha sort.
