I haven't tested it or use it, just give a thought on possible workflow for your case.
You are sorting on date, that is modified date and changes if anything happened (copy/delete...) inside the folder. There is also Create date field which doesn't change. So you can make custom column view with create date and sort on this one.
If needed you can use 'change attributes' dialog box to set the creation date to modified date. This way the sort order will not change after changing the content (and modified dates) of the folder. That is exactly the behavior you are looking for.

I don't want to switch other than Full view because I do different tasks and I always need Full view. Seems there's no way to add creation date & modified dates columns together? Also with creation time I can lost where I was last time because I don't only do this task with Total Commander.

In the custom view you can have same view as Full view with the addition to creation date. That is the way to show modified, created and accessed dates together along with any other column.
You can consider comments as a way to mark the progress, or even use it as a tag.

Just a thought, a poor-mans todo list, perhaps I miss a step somewhere as I haven't tried it out, but you probably get the idea
- in the main folder e.g. f:\mp3 run the following dos command to create a descript.ion file marking all folders as TODO (you can create this in any text editor or excel just save it as a text file)
Code: Select all
for /f "tokens=*" %G in ('dir /A:D /b "*" ') do echo "%G" todo >> descript.ion
- Create a Search profile with the following rule: "tc comments contains todo"
- create a columns view: name|ext|Comment [=tc.comment]
- see here how to "show commented files and folders only https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=56895"
- so in one panel with the descript.ion / comments view you can see all folders you need "todo", once done press ctrl-z to remove the comment or change to "done" - you can use
CTRL+left/right: Open directory/archive and display it in the target window
