Suggestion for X2-sorting

Post by uwee »

I have one suggestion where i think the sorting could be improved while changing the sorting direction.

An example:

I am sorting the column (Name) ascending and have selected the file "aa.doc" (it is the first file in a very long list in this column)

Now when i change the sorting direction to descending:
- the selected file remains selected (thats good)
- but this file is still in the new pane view that means i'm now at the end of the list

I think it would make more sense to set the view to the beginning of the sorting that means in this example to the files beginning with "z".

This is like the behaviour of the MS Explorer (not everything is bad here....)

x2 keeps the focused item always in view
when sorting x2 assumes you want to keep working with the item
(e.g. what if you had something selected in mid-list?)

if you want to quickly move to the start/end use [Home] or [End] keys
