I’ve a lot of entries in a higher level group (folder) in DTTG. When synchronizing, on a per folder level, I currently need to tap sort, sort by created. Then tap sort again, sort by created to have it in descending order. Then I need to manually scroll all the way up to the top of the list.
Only to then note that now the subfolders are somewhere among the records.
How can I sort such that the subfolders are shown first, in ascending order by name, and then the records, in descending order by creation - and have that as a default sort for the whole database?
Ah, to answer a part of my own question, there’s a database setting “groups first” which, while not sorting them alphabetically, at least puts them to the top. Also, apparently (not sure yet), the sort direction on a higher level folder applies to subfolders.
So great, then only if we could sort the folders / groups by name, that would be great.
No you can’t set a default, as in globally applicable to all databases and groups. But you can set a group’s sort, then set an independent sort method for a child group in it. Unless modified manually, subgroups in the child group inherit the sort method. that includes newly created groups.
For example…
South America(Name)
••> Argentina (Name)
••> Bolivia (Date Added - manually changed)
•••••> La Paz (Date Added)
•••••> Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Date Added)
•••••> Sucre (Kind - manually changed)
