New Release: Custom File Explorer Sorting Plugin

This week's release brings a highly anticipated plugin to the Obsidian Community Plugins list - Custom File Explorer Sorting. This plugin allows you to automatically sort your files and folders in the File Explorer based on various criteria, such as alphabetical order, creation date, or advanced sorting methods.

With this plugin, you can enable automatic sorting of your files and folders, making it easier to find what you need quickly and efficiently. The plugin also includes a range of customization options, allowing you to tailor the sorting behavior to your specific needs.

Installing the Plugin

To install the Custom File Explorer Sorting plugin, simply search for it on the Obsidian Community Plugins page or directly in the Obsidian app itself. Once installed, you can configure the plugin settings to suit your preferences.

Basic Automatic Sorting Methods

The plugin includes a range of basic automatic sorting methods, including:

  • Alphabetical order (natural and reverse natural)
  • True alphabetical order
  • Creation date (ascending and descending)

These sorting methods allow you to quickly organize your files and folders based on simple criteria. You can also use advanced sorting methods, such as custom properties, to create more complex sorting behaviors.

Additional Features

The Custom File Explorer Sorting plugin includes several additional features, including:

  • Support for multiple sorting criteria
  • Ability to customize the sorting behavior using CSS snippets
  • Notification of state changes (for mobile devices only)

Overall, this plugin is a great addition to the Obsidian ecosystem, and we are sure you'll find it very useful](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SebastianMC/obsidian-custom-sort/master/docs/icons/icon-applied.png) Plugin enabled on mobile devices)
