- the last-resort default fallback sorting method (which was alphabetical) is extended to give preference to files. In other words, if all the specified sorting levels don't sort two items, the file goes first (if the other item is a folder)
- added explicit syntax to specify `files-first` or `folders-first`
- sorting by bookmarks, item w/o bookmark pushed to the bottom in both: asc and desc orders
- sorting by metadata, item w/o metadata pushed to the bottom in both, asc and desc orders
- sorting by creation or modification date, advanced mode: empty folders (or folders having only folder children) are pushed to the bottom, regardless of asc or desc order
- adjusted behavior of by-bookmark-comparator to adhere to the multi-level sorting support implemented in #89 and merged recently to this branch. Basically, each comparator is responsible only for its own comparison and should no fallback into other default comparisons - instead it should return 0, which indicates item which are equal from the perspective of the comparator
- full runtime handling (application) of multi-level sorting
- full unit tests coverage of new functions
- metadata-based sorting extended to be applicable at each of sorting level, possibly with different metadata + full unit tests coverage
- having the run-time part ready, the missing part is the extending the sorting-spec-processor.ts
- added run-time execution logic for multi-level sorting
- modified the sorter-by-metadata (required change for multi-level sorting)
- adjusted unit tests
- NO NEW UNIT TESTS
- no syntax added to support specification of multi-level (remains to be done)
- sorting engine updated
- no dedicated syntax introduced, new feature used only in unit tests
- replaces the simplistic support for secondary sorting level for regexps
- unit tests
- the meaning of CustomSortOrder.standardObsidian changes from a fixed one to what is actually selected in Obsidian UI
- the CustomSortOrder.standardObsidian can be applied at a folder level (as the default for folder) and at a group level (this is a major addition)
- added a mapping of Obsidian UI sorting methods onto internal plugin sorting methods, plus addition of the Obsidian UI logic to push folders to the top unconditionally
- !!! NO NEW UNIT TESTS FOR THIS FEATURE - must add later
- not tested manually, as the commits extraction and pushing is done as part of #88 github issue
* #79 - parent-folder-name variable support
- introductions of simplistic macros / templating support
- initially only one macro supported: {:%parent-folder-name%:}
- macro expanded only for plain-text matching rules, ignored for regexp-based rules
- for children of the root folder the macro is ignored
- unit tests for the new macros.ts
- unit tests for the testable part of updated custom-sort.ts
Tons of updates:
- feature complete
- context menu for 'bookmark this' and 'bookmark+siblings' for sorting
- order of bookmarked siblings reflects the current sorting in File Explorer, whatever it is (!!!)
- unit tests probably missing for the additions
- list of TODO: updated in main.ts and other files inline
Tons of updates:
- full integration with standard sorting at folder level and at sorting group level
- refined support for implicit sorting for bookmarks plugin integration
- documentation update (partial, sketchy)
- new keyword added to support items starred with Obsidian core plugin 'Starred'
- the keyword is `starred:`
- detection and more user friendly handling of the general error condition when the File Explorer is not available
- new ribbon status icon shape to indicate the general error plus detailed error logged to the console
#32 - Implementation completed with rich unit tests coverage.
- manual.md contains a simple example of the new feature
- support for undocumented `\[0-3]` for the requester of the feature ;-)
- full unit tests coverage of the new functionality
- refactor of the parser to allow more flexible syntax and be able to detect more errors
- introduced many new errors recognized by the parser
- Implementation with full coverage of unit tests
- Documentation update with details about priorities (as an advanced feature, only in manual.md, not in README.md)
* #23 - support for sorting by metadata
- added support for grouping items by the presence of specified metadata
- new keyword `with-metadata:` introduced for that purpose in lexer
- if metadata field name is omitted, the default `sort-index-value` is used
- added support for sorting items by notes and folders metadata
- new keyword 'by-metadata:' introduced for that purpose
- if metadata field name is omitted, the default `sort-index-value` is used (or metadata name inheritance is used)
- unit tests of sorting spec processor extended accordingly
- documentation and code example in README.md
- extended to also support true alphabetical on metadata fields
- release unnecessary references after sorting completed
