Feature: New "Order by" for the Libraries

[TLImpala]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Please add the "Order By" option for libraries, allowing users to sort the sources of a library in a custom order.
As in the native Windows File Explorer, this custom order could be configured in the library properties window (the window where sources are added).

Thanks for the feedback, Windows File Explorer sorts by full path name, where Files will sort by last folder name. Is this the difference you mean? If not please say where the order by option is in Windows File Explorer.

Hi,
Thanks for your message.

I don't speak of an order by name or path but a custom order.
In the native Windows File Explorer, the custom order is done in the property windows of the library ("document" for example). The various sources can be order by a right click and the option up and down. The order in the explorer windows take the custom order defined in the property windows.

It's a specific possibility of the "Group by Path" view.
