Description

The Flexplorer plugin extends the native file explorer with folder specific sorting, so different parts of a vault can follow different ordering rules without sharing one global setup. It also adds a custom order mode that lets you rearrange files and folders manually through drag and drop. Pinned items can stay at the top, while hidden items can be kept out of the way when a section gets noisy. The plugin also supports mobile, with the same core behaviour available on touch devices. Its focus stays narrow. It changes how the explorer behaves and how items are arranged, rather than adding a separate workspace or command heavy workflow.
