Brackets: Sorting File tree by file type and not in alphabetical order

[Eriatolc]

Hi there,

I think it is an improvement to implement (not an critical one) in the future. Currently, the file tree of the projects you are working on, and which is displayed in the left sidebar, is sorted by name, in alphabetical order. I think it is pretty confusing because at the root of your project, you have both folders and files mixed up. It gives something like this.

./bin/
CHANGELOG.md
./doc/

I haven't found any options in the different menu to sort them by type, then in alphabetical order. Having something like this (if we take back the previous exemple):

./bin/
./doc/
CHANGELOG.md

Is it already possible? If it is, I don't know where to enable it. And if it's not possible yet, maybe it could be an improvement for the future brackets version?

I am looking forward for your answer. You are doing a great job.

FYI:

• OS: Ubuntu 13.04 up to date
• Brackets: Sprint 29, experimental version 0.29.0-8678 (c2b47c81e)

Thanks for your feedback! No, this is not already possible.

I added your request to this backlog story: https://trello.com/c/l3ce9hgK/880-reorder-files-folders-in-navigator Feel free to add additional details.

I would love to see this feature as well. Thanks!

@brianshim Note that this is now possible -- just change the "sortDirectoriesFirst" preference.

[brianshim]

That is awesome! Thanks @peterflynn!!!

@brianshim Does that work automatically as soon as the Sortdirectoriesfirst value is changed to true? or should i need to activate somewhere else....

Once you activate the setting it works automatically. Just be sure about the correct setting's name 'sortDirectoriesFirst'. Thx @peterflynn.
