GNOME 3.18 - Order files by mtime (modification date)

How to achieve it?

I am really frustrated how they are removing the features.

Re: GNOME 3.18 - Order files by mtime (modification date)

do you mean gnome 3.16 and are you talking about nautilus?

In nautilus 3.16 you can order files by modification time in list view.
You may need to enable it from 'Visible columns' from the same menu that switches icon/list view.

Oh, sure. I mean GNOME 3.16 nautilus.

If I order by modification time in a list view and then switch to icon view, the choice does not persist.

did you already try setting the org.gnome.nautilus.preferences.default-sort-order to 'mtime'?

Also you shouldn't bump your threads here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … te#Bumping

That is a default sort order, which is not what I want. I want a sort order for a specific folder.

Regarding bumping, it is neither of this:
"Often, the reason for posts remaining unanswered is due in large part to the sparse details in the original post itself, or, the obvious availability of solutions in the wiki, on the forum or on the web, and the community's unwillingness to point out the obvious."

It is just that GNOME people are taking a stupid path by removing features.
