2.1.8

• #132 - (experimental) support for two new sorting orders: advanced recursive modified and advanced recursive created
  • as their names suggest, they are extensions of advanced modified and advanced created, respectively. Folder modified and created dates are determined by recursively scanning of all descendants
• removal of experimental not working sorting methods: aaa-z and a-zzz
• added alias unicode-charcode for the existing vsc-unicode order to be more descriptive for non VSC users

2.1.7

Bugfix for #131 - Obsidian 1.5.4 (insider build) introduced breaking changes around File Explorer JS structure which prevented this custom-sort plugin from working.

• fix backward compatible with versions earlier that 1.5.4

2.1.5

Two experimental features (they are subject to change or removal, exposed for testing and collecting feedback)

• aaa-z and a-zzz sort orders (uppercase first, alphanumeric order and lowercase first, alphanumeric)
• vsc-unicode sort order, which is equivalent to what VS Code refers to as 'unicode' sorting (which name is arbitrary and confusing, yet familar to VS Code users)

2.1.4

#126 - Allow to eliminate the ambiguity of four dots ....

• by default .... means three-dots (a wildcard) with trailing dot
• use ./... syntax to impose leading dot followed by three-dots (the wildcard)

#127 - support for scenarios when file basename and folder name are the same and their relative order is undetermined by other sorting criteria (e.g. by modified / created dates)

• by default the last-resort last-level implicit sorting gives priority to a file in the described case
• new syntax introduced files-first and folders-first to allow explicit controlling of the order, e.g. < a-z, files first

2.1.3

#123 - sorting now uses basename of file (w/o extension) by default (fix of a retro-bug).

• New syntax a-z. and true a-z. introduced to allow explicitly sorting by filename with ext (new feature)

2.1.2

#115 Add inline regex support to match capital letters and lowercase letters explicitly

• \C introduced to match Capital letters
• \l introduced to match lowercase letters

No functional changes vs 2.1.1 release, only removed console.log statements which slipped in

2.1.1

#115 Add inline regex support to match capital letters and lowercase letters explicitly

• \C introduced to match Capital letters
• \l introduced to match lowercase letters

2.1.0

Changed the sorting behavior for items with undefined attributes:

• sorting by bookmarks, item w/o bookmark status pushed to the bottom in both: asc and desc orders
• sorting by metadata, item w/o relevant metadata pushed to the bottom in both, asc and desc orders
• sorting by creation or modification date, advanced mode: empty folders (or folders having only folder children) are pushed to the bottom, regardless of asc or desc order
