Bridge Sorting

I have been searching for an answer to this for several years now. I have tried suggestions but I still can't keep sorting options to date created. I have tried creating a workspace and checked SAVE SORT ORDER AS PART OF THE WORKSPACE! It totally ignores that and always defaults to Filename sort. It use to stay date created if i click that option when i open Bridge now its even worse--- if work in photoshop for a few minutes and come back to Bridge it changes back to sort by Filename. Its like there is a gremlin thats messing with me and constantly is determined to sort by Filename. And WHY is that the default? Who decided this was the best file sort? Im so frustrated with this glitch I could scream. I know such a little issue but years of putting up with this has finally drove me insane!

First, try resetting Bridge’s preferences:

It's 2023 with all the latest updates, and my Bridge doesn't automatically sort from manual to name but from name to manual—one of the many annoying Gremlins programmed to sabotage our workflow. Apple does the same thing. Another weird thing is after batch re-naming, bridge jumps to the bottom, and I have to scroll to find the files re-named. I hope the programmers are enjoying themselves now as they will have to deal with their conscience later. I wish Steve Jobs were still around to save us.

I'm suddenly having the same issue I don't see where this issue was resolved on this board.

I'm using the most recent version of bridge. I've purged the cache, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've follow all the suggested steps in the referenced link and nothing is working. The sort order keeps reverting to 'filename' even when I just minimize the BR window

I agree with all the comments regarding the sort option issues in Bridge. Adobe promotes creating a efficent work flow. This problem with Bridge makes creating that work flow much more difficult.

Of course that was the first thing I tried.

I don’t have your problem with different versions of Bridge, the column sort is retained. What version?
