Sort file listing?

Would expect it in GitHub Sort Content.

But have also checked GitHub Files Filter, no joy.

Currently I see:

Hi @gingerbeardman!

I didn't include the sorting in the GitHub sort content userscript because it adds the sort arrows as a background image and the file view doesn't have a header that can be targeted. I found this userscript a while back that adds clickable arrows to allow sorting, so I didn't think it would be necessary for me to repeat the work. It's not really "pretty" though 😉.

I guess it would be a good idea to include it in the sort content script... I'll put it on my to-do list.

@Mottie thanks for the link, sadly that still keeps folders and files separate 😭

Although easy enough to change that script once it's installed. Cheers!

Would still use your solution if you ever do one. 👍

It was easier to add then I thought 😸

Hehe, I think it actually looks kinda ugly, but what can ya do?

[gingerbeardman]

you adding it was beautiful, it looks... passable 😄

if i get to a page through browsing it doesn't appear?

Yeah, it's very fussy... the files within the table are added after the page loads, so sometimes it acts that way. I have the same issue with the file filter userscript. If you look at the bottom of the code, you'll see this block:

		// init after a short delay to allow rendering of file list
setTimeout(() => {
  addRepoFileThead();
}, 200);

Try increasing the 200 ms a little bit and see if that helps. I'll keep searching for a better solution.
