Moving folders · Data Parking (the two-pane mover)

How do I sort folders by size or date in Data Parking?

Short answer: Use the sort control in each pane's toolbar: Name, Size, Date modified or Date created. Pick the same key again to flip the direction. Folders stay above files, unknown sizes sort last, and your choice is remembered.

Use the sort control in each pane's toolbar and pick Name, Size, Date modified or Date created. Choosing the key you're already on flips the direction, and the button shows the current key and direction.

Folders always stay grouped above files, so sorting by size doesn't scatter them. Anything whose size or date isn't known yet sorts to the end in both directions — unknown isn't the same as small or very old. Your choice is remembered for next time.
