13 - Feature request: Sort by modification date, treating folder and files equally
- finetuned the 'modified' sorting method - not the folders are ordered alphabetically, as the standard Obsidiand sort by 'modified date' does - finetuned the 'created' sorting method in the same way as 'modified' - added some initial content to syntax-reference.md ;-) - extended the 'advanced modified' sorting method to also support the edge-case secondary sorting methods for groups

### Supported sorting methods
|
||||
|
||||
#### At folder level only
|
||||
|
||||
- `sorting: standard` - gives back the control on order of items in hands of standard Obsidian mechanisms (UI driven).
|
||||
Typical (and intended) use: exclude a folder (or folders subtree) from a custom sorting resulting from wilcard-based target folder rule
|
||||
|
||||
#### At folder and group level
|
||||
|
||||
- `< a-z` - alphabetical
|
||||
- `> a-z` - alphabetical reverse, aka alphabetical descending, 'z' goes before 'a'
|
||||
- `< modified` - by modified time, the long untouched item goes first (modified time of folder is assumed the beginning of the world, so folders go first and alphabetical)
|
||||
- `> modified` - by modified time reverse, the most recently modified item goes first (modified time of folder is assumed the beginning of the world, so folders land in the bottom and alphabetical)
|
||||
- `< created` - by created time, the oldest item goes first (modified time of folder is assumed the beginning of the world, so folders go first and alphabetical)
|
||||
- `> created` - by created time reverse, the newest item goes first (modified time of folder is assumed the beginning of the world, so folders land in the bottom and alphabetical)
|
||||
- `< advanced modified` - by modified time, the long untouched item goes first. For folders, their modification date is derived from the most recently modified direct child file.
|
||||
For extremely large vaults use with caution, as the sorting needs to scan all files inside a folder to determine the folder's modified date
|
||||
- `> advanced modified` - by modified time reverse, the most recently modified item goes first. For folders, their modification date is derived from the most recently modified direct child file.
|
||||
For extremely large vaults use with caution, as the sorting needs to scan all files inside a folder to determine the folder's modified date
|
||||
|
||||
#### At group level only (aka secondary sorting rule)
|
||||
|
||||
> Only applicable in edge cases based on numerical symbols, when the regex-based match is equal for more than one item
|
||||
and need to apply a secondary order on same matches.
|
||||
|
||||
- `< a-z, created`
|
||||
- `> a-z, created`
|
||||
- `< a-z, created desc`
|
||||
- `> a-z, created desc`
|
||||
- `< a-z, modified`
|
||||
- `> a-z, modified`
|
||||
- `< a-z, modified desc`
|
||||
- `> a-z, modified desc`
|
||||
- `< a-z, advanced modified`
|
||||
- `> a-z, advanced modified`
|
||||
- `< a-z, advanced modified desc`
|
||||
- `> a-z, advanced modified desc`
