Windows Explorer -> Sort by date
Unfathomable how someone thought that was a good idea.
- ComodoHacker 5y agoWhat do you mean? I sort by (reverse) date almost everywhere where I look at files.
- formerly_proven 5y agoThe "date" column and sort order in Explorer is a "deep state metadata inspection" kind of deal. For ordinary files this makes no difference, it's the same as Date modified, but sorting by date in a folder full of media files generally ends badly and in any case takes a long, long time until Explorer has parsed every last one of them. Explorer also seems to be rather unable to cache the results of this operation.
