You can't change the order, although I agree that, when sorting by a date, newer items should be first and when sorting by Visit Count, higher counts should be at the top.  You're not being dense.  You're being helpful.

We just changed these for version 1.6.5.  We need to push that update out tomorrow anyhow to work around bug we just discovered in the way that Apple launches Agents in Lion.

You're correct, rjb.  We made a last-minute change to make it work case-insensitively for names and URLs, and in so doing broke the operation for dates.

It's fixed in BookMacster 1.6.4 which is now ready to go.  We'll publish the update tomorrow after completing our test suite.


OK, this works, but now how do I change the sort order so the most recent items show up at the top of the folder instead of at the bottom?

Sorry if I'm being dense - I've looked and don't see a way...

thanks!

There's no reasonable workaround.

BookMacster 1.6.1 will have a new item, *Sort By*, in the contextual menu on items in the Content View and in the Find Report.  This item is enabled for folders.  It does a one-time sort of the folder's content, by one of nine attributes selected from a submenu, including name, URL, shortcut, and Added Date.

...


Hi there - sorry to be a pest about this, but I've installed 1.6.3, and I see the 'sort now by added' contextual item when control clicking the folder, but nothing happens when I do that.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

K, I'll look forward to that.  I guess in the meantime I'm gonna have to go in and manually re-sort those folders...

thanks,

OK, thanks Jerry - if there's a workaround I'd love to know about it...  If not, I'll live...

thanks,

Sort by date added?

Hi there - A recent change in Bookmacster resulted in a couple of very large folders of mine being unintentionally sorted alphabetically - this has ruined the prioritization of those folders for me.  Is there any way I can re-sort a folder by date added?

Thanks!
