Has any progress been made towards allowing a descending folder sort order, please? Is this a technical issues that can not be accomplished?

I have about 80K RAW images files using a naming convention of "YYYY-MM-DD description" started when using LR2. 

Having to scroll down and down and down just to get to the more recent folders, get more frustrating with each new month!  

Thanks in advance for providing this information.    Sincerely,  Doug Stead

Folders- No.  They always sort Alpha/Numeric

Have you placed Year sub-folders in a 'Parent' YEAR? Helps a bit.

Also considering using  'Favorites' to mark recent folders and 'filter' the folder panel to view only "Favorite" folders. (eg. multiple 'Recent' folders)

For the Previews in Grid view-  On the Tool bar below the Grid thumbnail previews.  [T] to toggle the Tool Bar On/Off.
