Can we please get a default option on sorting media? Currently the default sort is by framerate in my project window and there is not way to change that. I'm so tired of having to change it manually for every single project. It seems like something that would be really simple to implement. And the default sort set in bin view is user order. Both of these default sorting options dont help my workflow and are just annoying to change all the time.

     I always want to sort by name. I have a standard file structure where I will almost always label my folders with numbers so they appear in the order I want them to be in. I also do a lot of event filming, so I am looking for my footage sequentially because that's the order things happened in. The fact that Frame Rate is the default sorting column is kind of insane... I guess I have a difficult time understanding why someone would want footage sorted by that. (I mean, I'll switch to that if I'm looking for a certain clip, BROLL is sometimes at 59.94 and interviews are at 29.97, but for the most part, name is the most useful default sorting order.)

    @Nelson1234 providing an option to change the default is something we're considering. A shorter term option is also to just pick a better default; framerate doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

     

    For list view and icon view, what would your prefernce be for sort order?
