sorting on DATE does not work for directories

[melocotone]

For starters: Total Commander is the best file manager for Windows and Linux (yes it works under Wine !)!
Now for the sugestion/criticism: Sorting directories on the date of creation/change does not work. It works only for files contained in a directory. I have directories that contain lots of subdirectories and changing the sort order to date (by clicking on the date column header) does not change anything.
A Freeware competitor of Total Commander (FreeCommander) got right on this point. Clicking on the date header changes the order of the directories.
Thus my sugestion is: make it right on this point, please!
Thanks for delivering the best file manager on the Planet.

2melocotone: Feature is already implemented.
Just enable option at "Configuration - Options - Display - Sorting directories: Like files"

And have you tried Configuration --> Display: Sorting directories - Like files (also by time)?

[melocotone]

You are right! I had overlooked this option!
Thanks a lot !

Since I only occasionally want the directories sorted other than the default, I created a button with cm_SwitchDirSort to switch the display back and forth.

If you for want sorting of dirs to work when sorting by extension, put this in your wincmd.ini:

SortDirExt=1
