1.3.0

Fixed: saved orders were ignored after restarting Obsidian

This affected every cold start since 1.0, and updating is worth doing now. If your orders applied while you set them but were back to the default sort the next time you opened Obsidian, this was why.

The plugin asked Obsidian for the order note during startup, at a point where Obsidian's file index has not been built yet. The answer — "no such file" — is correct at that moment and wrong a moment later, but it was read as "no orders have ever been saved", which left the plugin holding an empty index that reported itself perfectly healthy. Nothing rendered, no repair was offered, and nothing appeared in the console. The note itself was never touched, so the one place you would look for damage looked fine.

It now checks that answer against the vault's filesystem adapter, which needs no index, before concluding the note is absent.

One thing worth checking. While the plugin was holding an empty index, saving or dragging would have written that emptiness over the note. If you reordered something after a restart on 1.2.1 or earlier, open explorer-order.md and confirm it still lists every folder you had ordered. If it lists only one, earlier content may be recoverable from indexBackup in .obsidian/plugins/explorer-order-editor/data.json, from your vault's .trash, or from sync/version history.

Thanks to @jon0101010 for the report in #1, and for the detail that made it findable: that the order applied correctly when set, vanished on restart, and offered no repair row.

The right-click menu is now one entry

Everything this plugin adds sits under a single Explorer order item, with Set order and Clear order inside it — and the four move actions too, when you have them switched on. Since 1.2 most reordering happens by dragging in the tree, so the menu you open for something else should not be carrying six of our entries.

Move hotkeys can move folders

The four move commands act on the file explorer's focused row while the explorer has keyboard focus, and on the note you have open otherwise. Previously they only ever acted on the open note, which meant no hotkey could move a folder at all, since the open note never is one.

Clear every saved order

A new row on the settings tab clears all saved orders at once, after a confirmation naming how many folders are affected. It appears only when there is something to clear. Undoing an ordering pass over a whole tree no longer means revisiting every folder in it. Your files and folders are not touched.
