## Basic scenario 2: explicitly list folders and files in the order which you want
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This comes from the suggestion by [TheOneLight](https://github.com/TheOneLight) in [this discussion](https://github.com/SebastianMC/obsidian-custom-sort/discussions/95#discussioncomment-7048584)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Take the instructions from the **[Basic scenario 1](https://github.com/SebastianMC/obsidian-custom-sort#basic-scenario-set-the-custom-sorting-order-for-a-specific-folder)** above and replace the YAML content with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
sorting-spec: |
|
||||||
|
My first folder name
|
||||||
|
My second folder name
|
||||||
|
My first file name
|
||||||
|
My second file name
|
||||||
|
// ... and continue so in the desired order
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will enforce the order as you list inside the YAML

## Editing multi-line properties in the new YAML properties editor (Obsidian 1.4 and newer)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The newly introduced YAML properties editor (Obsidian 1.4 and newer) can make editing the multi-line text properties tricky and confusing.
|
||||||
|
There are short videos here [How to create or edit a multi‐valued property in Obsidian?](https://github.com/SebastianMC/obsidian-custom-sort/wiki/How-to-create-or-edit-a-multi%E2%80%90valued-property-in-Obsidian%3F) which could be helpful:
|
||||||
|
- how to edit the multi-line text properties in Obsidian properties editor (`shift+enter` does the magic here)
|
||||||
|
- how to edit the multi-line text properties in Obsidian `source view mode` (the classic way, as you did prior to Obsidian 1.4)
