Multiple fold sort orders possible?

Is it possible to set different sort orders for different folders?
I'd like to have some folders sorted by filename, others by date taken. However it appears when I set a folder to one of those, every folder then gets sorted the same way.

Am I missing something, or is what I want not possible?

Yes, sort order is saved on a per-folder basis. Turn on viewing hidden files in Finder/Explorer and you'll see .BridgeSort files.

Hmmm that's not working for me. If I set a folder to sort by filename, switched to another folder and set it to sort by date created, then when I go back to the original folder it's also changed to sort by date created. In fact as far as I can see, every folder has changed to that sort option. If I change the first folder back to sort by filename, all the others change to that as well.
I can't see anywhere under Preferences to alter that behaviour.

Your observations are what I have always seen for as long as I can recall. The "Sort by ..." setting is applied globally. Changing it is also applied globally. Perhaps the previous comment was in relation to manual sorting.
