- `aaa-z` and `a-zzz` sort orders (uppercase first, alphanumeric order and lowercase first, alphanumeric)
- `vsc-unicode` sort order, which is equivalent to what VS Code refers to as 'unicode' sorting (which name is arbitrary and confusing, yet familar to VS Code users)
- 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`
- naive implementation, the escape lexeme is \\DOT (problematic long term because of overlaps)
- naive implementation, the escape is transformed to simple-regexp (technically this is not needed at all)
- full runtime processor extension plus necessary syntax adjustments
- backward compatibility with semi-two-levels
- extended meaning of sorting: lexeme
- extended and more fine-grained error messages for sorting order specifications
- 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
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
- 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
- added two new commands to enable/suspend the plugin
- intentionally put in the description convenient names: sort-on and sort-off
- code area was not covered by unit tests, not adding new one at this point (simple logic, fresh mind ;-)
Cosmetics: wildcard patters for root like '/*' or '/...' produced a non matchable sort spec in the main sorting spec. The sort spec in wildcards tree was ok.
- new syntax: target-folder: Reviews/* <-- applies to folder, subfolders and all descendant folders
- new syntax: target-folder: Reviews/... <-- applies to folder and subfolders
- special case: target-folder: /* tells the plugin to apply the specified sorting to entire vault
- enhanced syntax for '.' - can be used to specify relative path now (e.g. target-folder: ./daily)
- added new sorting attribute (sorting: standard) to actually give back the sorting into the hands of standard Obsidian mechanisms
- fixed a minor bug: some of error messages were displayed only in console, not in the ballons
- unit tests for all new and changed functionality
- pending README.md update
