Sorting Deleted Items

[wkrzystek]

Is there a way to sort deleted items by date or filename? They are displayed in a seemingly random sequence now

There currently isn't a way to sort in the properties window. I can put in a feature request if you'd like.

Another option would be to perform a Show History on the folder, and in the Actions tab of the Show History options, you would uncheck all except Delete. Then you can use the Sort tab to have it sort in the manner you wish.

Is there any chance that this enhancement will be added to the next version? It doesn't seem like a big change to just add an ORDER BY clause to the query. I don't care so much about being able to sort the items - just pick a sort order - either by filename, last modified, deleted, etc so I don't have to iterate through every item in the list trying to find the file to undelete. This is an old repository that has had many changes over the last 5 years and this list is completely unmanageable.

Unfortunately, I can't make any guarantees on which version this would go into even if it is an easy fix. They currently have a long list of items for themselves for the next version. They'll definitely see the request though, and I'll bump it up a little in priority.

I think the delete goes by when it was deleted, which might distress those users who would rather have the order be by when it was deleted.
