Sort/order search results by columns
Still beleave the old bug 778484 should be solved. 1. Bug 5. Search
Here is how to reproduce it:
- Type in a serach word like
.log
- Try to click on the column to change to order
Current behavior
There is no abilbity to sort/order the search result list.
Expected behavior
Clicking on the size cloumn sorts the result by size. Or clicking on the Modified date column sorts the results after date.
Additional information
There was mentioned in a comment the following in the old bug:
Manual sorting was removed on purpose (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751336) with the following explanation: Following what we did in the canvas view, and what the file chooser is doing, we disallow the manual sorting on recent and search for list view as well, since it kinda defeats the point to allow a diferent sorting in those situations."
But I still believe it woud be a good idea and user experience to be able to cusotm order the search result. Additional there could be a feature to switch back to the "search relevance" order, like mension in issue #209 (closed) .
