FS#13226 - Allow for per-directory sort settings

Rockbox’s file viewer has a global sort setting.

It would be nice to have a default global sort setting, but also persistent per-directory sort settings.

For my use-case, it makes sense for me to sort my podcast directory by date, but I wouldn’t want that to affect my music directories, which should play files sorted by name.
Whenever I wish to play music, I need to go back to the general settings, and change the sort settings. And when I’m done and wish to listen to podcasts, I have to change it again.

The file browser provides an easily accessible way to change file sort order since at least 3.15

IOW Too much code complexity for something mildly inconvenient

Admin

you can change the sort from the file menu within the file browser
'File View'

Alternatively:

You could use lua to make a podcast file browser

in the demos/lua_scripts directory there is a demo file browser that you could easily modify for your use

luadir.dir returns string:filename, boolean:isdir, table:{attributes, size, ftime}

you would then have to sort on ftime

Update: I added sort by date code to the file_browser example.
