How can I sort my projects manually?

You're looking at the sort order for the entire library (the gear at the top) what is the sort order for the folder:

Reisen 2010-heute Digitalbilder

Again each level of an hierarchy can have its own sort setting.

o.k. how good, that you insisted! 😊 😊 😊

Finally found the local sort setting. That seems to be working well. I thought the cogwheel would apply to the locally selected folder, like the search fields do.

OK good, looks the universe has righted itself once again 🙂

I had no idea Folders kept their own sort orders 😮. I have used creative naming to keep my containers sorted the way I want when sorting the entire Library hierarchy alphabetically on "Name". This new knowledge is _very_ helpful. Thank you!

Any way of either:

- getting Folders to preceed Projects when sorted by "Kind"? or

- sorting by "Kind" _descending_?

This reminds me of one the things that still bothers me on the Mac platform: folders (in the Finder) are sorted along with items-not-in-folders. No physical filing system I've ever used interleaves containers and bottom-level items that way -- perhaps you (Frank) or Léonie can provide an engineer's perspective on the difference.

Well, I am happy that we are allowed to file items of different classes (albums,books, proects) in the same container, but what is missing, and is very high on my list of wishes for AP4 is the possibilit to use secondary (or more) sorting criteria:

sort first by kind, thenwithin the same kind by date, then within date by rating...

OK good, looks the universe has righted itself once again 🙂

It was you, like Archimedes, applying a long lever, to tilt the axis of the earth. 😎
