feature request: sort results by random

Post by ftgp »

I think it would be nice to have this feature
I use everything for organize some files and sometimes is boring sorting by path, size etc

I randomize it be renaming all with a number sequence at the begining of each filename

It will be awesome to have this as a native feature

A randomize feature is in development. (View -> Sort By -> Randomize)

Thank you for the suggestion.

It may have other uses other than making things more interesting, for example it might be useful to anyone who wants to learn something... eg suppose they were plant pictures being viewed randomised by this feature, people would then go through in a visual mode trying to recall what they are that they see and look at the file name to see if they are right. d

You should give Everything 1.5 Alpha a spin. It's available for download right now, and already includes this feature. You can even assign it to a keyboard hotkey (mine is F7) so that it randomizes your search results with the slap of a key, and slap it again and again to watch it shuffle and reshuffle some more.

Let us know if you have trouble locating it.
