Sorting Files in Nested Folders

[Xaerwyn]

Hey I can't seem to custom sort files that are inside a folder that is inside another folder. Is this not possible or am I just missing something? Haven't had any problems sorting files that are only inside 1 folder.

Thanks!

Hi @Xaerwyn

not having more details about your case I can only guess

My most obvious suspicion is the syntax to specify the target folder.
There are two variants supported:

• /... which only applies to the specified folder and its immediate subfolders and not deeper, AND
• /* which applies to the specified folder and the entire hierarchy of subfolders. In other words, all descendant subfolders (sub-subfolders, and so on)

And for example, respectively:

• target-folder: MyNotes/... -> will apply the specified sorting rule to the folder MyNotes and its immediate children like MyNotes/2020 and MyNotes/2021. And will NOT apply the sorting rule to more nested folders like MyNotes/2020/Jan or MyNotes/2021/Attachment/images
• target-folder: MyNotes/* -> will apply the sorting rule to the folder and its all descendants folders, any depth, including examples like MyNotes/2020, MyNotes/2021, MyNotes/2020/Jan, MyNotes/2021/Attachment/images

So, the obvious guess, based on your description would be to switch from the /... suffix in target folder spec to /* suffix.

Let me know if that is or is not the case.

Ah yes that worked thank you!
