Can't sort File Search


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I have been looking at the File Search help page. When I get results, I would like them sorted by date. Alfred often puts an old "backup" version of a file ahead of the current version.

Under "Sorting Preferences and Order", it says that you can sort by

"Using the cog in bottom right of the File Navigation window"

But I guess this only applies to "File Navigation" and not "File Search".

Is there any way I can get Alfred to sort the "File Search" window?

if you are referring to your search results, alfred learns your usage and what you choose in your searches. You can learn more about alfred's knowledge here.  That said, if wanted to build some file filters, you can use the limit and sort functions to sort by other methods ... not just alfred's default knowledge.

Thanks! "File Filter" works great. I use a hotkey to bring up the File Search. It's interesting (and great) that I don't need to provide a Keyword in the File Filter itself.
