Incorrect sorting of dates

Post by spaghetti »

Hello,

I discovered today that some folders were not sorting correctly by date. I see the dates populated in the "Date Modified" and "Date Created" with the correct date. If I click the column header, the files re-arrange in their reverse order, but this is not the correct order. The screenshots below may make this clearer, take a look at the dates for "test folder"

For troubleshooting, I've rebooted, rebuilt the database, reinstalled Everything, enabled "load recent changes from USN journal".
I tested this with versions 1.4.1.1015 and 1.5.0.1294a. I'm running Windows 10 21H2.
Dates are in MM/DD/YYYY

Let me know if there is any additional info I can provide.

Thank you for the bug report spaghetti,

This is expected.

When sorting by date modified descending, files are shown first, then folders.


To mix files and folders together:
  • In Everything 1.5. from the View menu, under the Sort by submenu, check Mix files and folders.


Mix files and folders
Folders first

Ah, I see. I only installed 1.5 to test this and assumed that behavior was default in 1.4.1, but it appears I'm mistaken. A good reason to finally jump to 1.5 it seems. Thanks for the help.
