6.5 onsite - Folder and File Sorting by Type not available

[PovEim]

Hi,

I guess I have two related questions:

1) When moving assets through folder structure - why are the folders not sorted in alphabetical order? There is not even an option to sort them... The folders are in random order, or are they in the order of date created?

 

2) Why is the sort by Type not working? The option is not even available. Other sort options seem to work, but the Type. Also - will the DAM understand the order if I start naming folders with 01 xxx, 02 xxx prefixes? 

 

Thanks

@PovEim : To enable sorting of DAM assets sortable based on type, you have to make the Type column sortable. You can do so by making updates to the Type column field by overriding this from /libs to /apps.

1. Override - /libs/dam/gui/content/commons/availablecolumns/type to /apps
2. Update the property 'sortable' to true.
3. You should be able to filter based on Type as well.

This would not solve the #1 but will help with #2.

Hi @Kamal_Kishor ,

Thank you for the reply with the reference. I will raise a ticket to the devs to make this happen.
