# Sorting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xplr supports sorting paths by different properties. The sorting mechanism
|
|
|
|
|
|
works like a pipeline, which in visible in the `Sort & filter` panel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
size↑ › [i]rel↓ › [c]dir↑ › [c]file↑ › sym↑
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This line means that the nodes visible in the table will be first sorted by
|
|
|
|
|
|
it's size, then by case insensitive relative path, then by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
canonical (symlink resolved) type of the node, and finally by whether or not
|
|
|
|
|
|
the node is a symlink.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The arrows denote the order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each part of this pipeline is called [Node Sorter Applicable][1].
|
|
|

## Node Sorter Applicable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It contains the following information:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [sorter][2]
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [reverse][3]

|
|
### sorter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A sorter is a [sum type][4] that can be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByRelativePath"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByIRelativePath"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByExtension"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByIsDir"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByIsFile"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByIsSymlink"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByIsBroken"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByIsReadonly"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByMimeEssence"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySize"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCreated"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByLastModified"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalAbsolutePath"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByICanonicalAbsolutePath"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalExtension"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalIsDir"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalIsFile"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalIsReadonly"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalMimeEssence"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalSize"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalCreated"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByCanonicalLastModified"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkAbsolutePath"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "ByISymlinkAbsolutePath"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkExtension"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkIsDir"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkIsFile"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkIsReadonly"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkMimeEssence"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkSize"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkCreated"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "BySymlinkLastModified"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### reverse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type: boolean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It defined the direction of the order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
|
|
|
|
xplr.config.general.initial_sorting = {
|
|
|
|
|
|
{ sorter = "ByCanonicalIsDir", reverse = true },
|
|
|
|
|
|
{ sorter = "ByIRelativePath", reverse = false },
|
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This snippet defines the initial sorting logic to be applied when xplr loads.
