Total Commander

Really hope that my suggestions will be implemented in future release....

Please make an option to sort files by groups in "Brief view" (Ctrl+F1)
OR
make an option to display files and folders in "custom columns" like they're displayed in "brief view"

It would really help managing files much faster...

What do you mean by sorting in groups? Grouped based on what?

If you mean grouped by file type - then just press Ctrl+F4.

I mean sorting by "group of filetypes" for example

executable files: *.exe, *.pif, *.com, *.bat
archives: *.rar, *.tgz, *.zip, *.uha
images: *.jpg, *.psd, *.png, *.gif
documents: *.xls, *.doc, *.txt

Now in brief view my files are displayed like this: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1654/tc1nm3.png

When I created custom columns using wdx plugin FileGroups files are sorting like I want: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4246/tc2nd3.png

but custom columns are displayed only in one column =( which I find really uncomfortable. It's just that I got used to "Brief View" style where I can move from one column to another pressing left or right...

It would be great to sort files by "groups of filetypes" by pressing: Alt+"Ext"

EDIT: corrected picture links here above (they were showing the thumbnails),

This is posted for petermad who posted on behalf of ak0rn and corrects the image links to point to the fullsized images instead of to the thumbnails.
