I’m designing a folder that doesn’t have any sorting enabled on any of the columns.
If documents are added to this folder, I would expect the documents to appear in the order they are added to this folder, however this is not the case as the documents appear randomly (i.e. a 5th document added, appears on the 3rd position in the folder).
Is there anyway I can create a folder in where documents are sorted in the order I put them in.
Subject: Default sorting in a Folder
There is no official defined “default” sort for view or folders - if no columns are sorted, you cannot be guaranteed any particular order of the documents.
However, what you will probably find is that the documents are sorted by their underlying ID’s, and so would be sorted by their creation dates.
By default, Notes does not know when a document was put into a folder, so there’s no way to sort them that way.
You could have actions that sets a date/time field as they are added, and then sort on that. However, if you are using drag-and-drop, I don’t think you will be able to do that.
