How can I preserve sort orders for multiple folders when switching between them?

Question

I have two folders that I frequently switch between in Adobe Bridge (version 14.1.9). I want each folder to retain its own sort order:

Folder A → sorted by Date Modified, most recent first
Folder B → sorted by Filename, ascending

However, when I navigate between them using Favorites or the Back arrow, Bridge applies the last-used sort to the new folder instead of keeping the per-folder sort.

The folders are geographically far apart in the Folders panel, so scrolling to them each time is difficult. Isn’t this what the Favorites panel was created for?

Is there a way to make Bridge respect each folder’s individual sort order when switching like this, without having to manually reapply the sort each time?

Hi, @compupix, good question, and there is an answer: In the Content Panel, you can have multiple Content Tabs. Here is a screenshot where I've focused on one folder and set that to Date Created.

Then I went to a second folder in a second Content Tab and had that one set on a different folder and set that to Filename.

Going back and forth was easy and did not lose its focus.

I hope this helps,
