Recycle Bin (XP) Will Not Retain Sort Order

S

Flightless Bird
Hello...

I like to sort the items in the recycle bin by the date deleted, but
lately (the last few weeks or so) my recycle bin does not retain this
sort order. Rebooting does not help.

Any ideas on how to fix this.

TIA
SS

PS - I don't use this newsgroup very often, and searching a million
subject lines is not very productive when so many folks use
overly-general subjects ("Help with Recycle Bin" for example). So
please excuse me if this solution has been discussed before.

You don't have to worry about having to check the ng first for anything
pertaining to your subject because nothing like this has ever been posted
before. May I ask WhyTF you care about in what order your files are in the
Trash Can??????

Talk about pedantic. Why don't you create a "Pre Delete" folder and place
your crap there, then once a week you can review and actually delete the
files you no longer want.

But isn't that what the Recycle Bin actually does?

Even though the files are not usable while they are in the Recycle Bin, they
have NOT been actually deleted and can be fully restored. I always think of
the Recycle Bin as containing files taken out of circulation and earmarked
for final deletion.

Yeah, but this joker wants to be able to sort items by date, which I don't
think you can do in the recycle bin. If he/she/it creates a redundant
folder he can sort the files however his/hers/its little heart desires.

It's not that difficult to click the "Date deleted" header. But perhaps
you have installed something that prevents user choices from being saved.

There is a "Deleted date" available to View and manipulate the order with.

Where? I don't see anything in Views pertaining to date.

Michael...

I try to avoid flame wars...and did my best to ignore your first few
"answers" to my problem, but I would really appreciate if:

(a) You didn't refer to me as "this joker" when I have a legitimate
question...and...

(b) You knew what you were talking about -- I have always (until
recently) been able to sort by date deleted and have the recycle bin
retain that sort order with each opening, (a situation you would have
understood had you read my original post accurately).

Once again, does anyone know how to restore this capability (which I
know from experience exists) to the recycle bin...and please do not
respond if all you are going to do is question my motives.

Incidentally...the recycle bin actually does seem to retain this sort
order for awhile...so that suggests that one of my other apps may be
interfering at some late time...but I can't seem to tell when it loses
the order.

View > Choose details...

And there are quite a few details you can show in the Recycle Bin providing
you are in Views > Details as opposed to other views such as View > List
where you will only see the names of the files deleted but no details. And
as I said while you are in the Details view you can choose which details you
want to see by going to View > Choose details...

Quite simple really...

It should remember the selected sort order each time I re-oopen

I cannot figure out what is triggering the reversion back to the
default sort (sorting by filename).

OK, let's have another and final go at this problem... else I give up!

In any Windows Explorer view create the view you prefer and...
click Apply it to all folders
but also make sure that under Tools >Folder Options >View
" Remember each folder's view settings " is ticked, ticked, ticked ;-)

This will ensure that if you prefer a particular view for a particular
folder, that view will be retained for that folder. You can for example use
this so that when you open My Pictures your pictures always show up as
Thumbnails in a particular order. You can for example to to detailed view
select to View by Date (either escalating of descalating) and then click to
view the thumbnails which will show up in that particular date order. For
example I prefer mine to show the newest at the top.

Once you Apply your preferred View to All Folders, you can then go into any
particular folder and select a different view to that specific folder.
Though it is a pity that one cannot apply the same view to all subfolders of
that folder, for example to all the sub-folders of My Pictures. This would
have saved one the bother of applying such non-standard view to all the
subfolders of say My Pictures individually. Sorry for the verbosity but
hopefully others will also read this and learn a useful trick.

Hopefully this answers your question.

Yes you can. Just choose the details you want to see and it will be done.
You can see not only Date Deleted but also Create Date, Modified Date etc
etc. I have just tried it to make sure that I am not talking off my head.
When you click the Recycle Folder shortcut on the desktop what you get is
just another Windows Explorer window and by clicking View > Choose
details... you can click and select any detail you want displayed in the
current Windows Explorer window of which the Recycle Bin is but just another
example. Unless you apply this view to all folders, it will only apply to
the current folder and if you had clicked Remember Each Folder's View the
applied view will not change every time you open that folder.

I myself prefer to see files by modified date with the latest at the top of
the list. Makes it handy to access your latest files and files that have
been recently modified.

I wrote about this before. Just get up a Windows Explorer screen, arrange it
in the sort order you want whether by name, by creation date, by Date
Modified Date whatever. You do this in detailed view by clicking the
headers.

Once you have got it as you would like it go to...
Tools > Folder Options > View and...
Click the box for Remember Each Folder's View settings
Click OKy OR if you want that view to apply to all settings Click Apply to
All Folders.

IF you click Apply that view to All Folders, any folder you open from then
on will be displayed in that view, i.e. In Alphabetic order, in Create Date
order or whatever. OR conversely if you just click OK without Applying that
view TO ALL FOLDERS, then only that folder will be displayed in that
fashion.

Elsewhere I had written about how to add these details (columns) to the
Windows Explorer views. I wouldn't bother trying to create a view order by
clicking the individual columns (details) right when choosing them though.
Choose the details first and then just drag the various details (columns) to
where you want them to appear. For example I want the Attributes column on
the leftmost side. Just make sure that you click Apply to All folders button
so that all folders will show a similar display.

IF you want a particular folder to be displayed in a different manner then
go to that folder and apply a different view. Just make sure that the
Remember Each Folder's View is clicked. I can assure you that whenever you
go to that folder you will get that particular view.

And this is easier done than said, to turn an expression on its head. It
sounds more complex when reading about how to do it. But do it just once
(and DO use your head, for heaven's sake) you will understand how the system
works.

And remember, above all USE YOUR HEAD!!!

Thanks Bob, said the blind man. I never put too much emphasis on the
recycle bin.
