list view sort order
Hello,
I want to display items in the Project window in List view, in alphabetical order. Always. When I add something, I don't want it to be listed in a custom sort order. I want it to always be in alphabetical order. ALWAYS.
The Sort Icons button is grayed out when in List view. It only works in Icon View.
If I, for example, duplicate an item, it starts out with the name of the original item. Then I rename it. The renamed item does not get sorted by Name. It is out of alphabetical order. The only thing I can do is click on the Name column in the metadata display at the top of the window.
So every time I duplicate something, I need to click that Name column. Not once, but twice, because the first time I click it results in the order being reversed.
This is poor UX. Someone evidently thought that it was more important for renamed items to remain in the same order instead of being automatically sorted. But that flies in the face of the entire concept of sorting.
What should happen is that a renamed item gets sorted automatically. The item remains selected. If necessary, the window scrolls to reveal the selected item. This is how most programs work.
The number of super annoying quality of life issues in Premiere really drives me crazy. How can it be so bad? It just defies comprehension.
Or am I missing something?
