P: Sort folders in ascending or descending order

That ould be great ! Wilfried

It would be great if this feature also included not just sorting reversal for name, but also for date, and size. For example like in the Mac Finder list view, clicking 'Name' once to sort A-Z and Z-A, or 'Date' to sort A-Z and Z-A, and 'Size' (which would be nice to know total folder size (either total images, or total image files size) A-Z and Z-A. Thank you!

I did the same, using the YYYY-MM-DD format. Yours seems to be better. Thanks. Wilfried

I think you have to import before making a collection ? So a reverse sort would also help..... Regards Wilfried

🙂 the reverse sorgt will extend this Feature on to 200%. For those who like the existing "sort" have no disadvantage, stay 100% satisfied. The other will be 100% happy. It's a win-win-situation. And the program code should not be too difficult. 🙂 Regards Wilfried (not Wilford) Sorry for my German school English

Wilford,

I've converted this to a feature request. Those who would like to see a reverse sort order in the Folders panel can add their votes by clicking the button at the top right. 

Saying this about Folders, I will also say I like most to work with collections. Then, if I need to go to the folder of one photo, I just right click and chose Go to folder in Library. It is safer to work with Collection.

I use the YYYY/MM/DD structure but even then, with year folders going back to 2002, there is a good deal of scrolling and collapsing/expanding needed to move through them.

Some possible options the developers might consider adding.

1. A reverse sorting option for folders
2. A Favourites panel that would allow only folders marked as favourites to be included
3. An ability to pin folders and filter by All/Pinned/Unpinned

Here is a photo of parts of my Library folders structure Bildemapper is my Root folder/main destination folder (TO in import window). The sub folders are handled by Lightroom import > Destination panel.

The OS have this capability, but not Lightroom. I used to have the same folder structure as you, but got tired of the long list of folders in Library. With the date format YYYY-MM-DD you will have a very long list of rows in Library, on subfolder for each date. If you change to YYYY/MM/DD, your list of rows can be reduced to 1 row per year, 1 row per month. Days will be subfolders in each month and months are subfolders in the year folder, like this; 2018/07/20. You can collapse or expand the folder tree as you like.
