Syntax

-sortingOrder order

Description

Option order is one of:

• none - unsorted;
• name - lexicographically by name;
• name_reversed - ... reversed;
• natural - on Windows natural sorting by name (like File Explorer), on Unix same as "name";
• natural_reversed - ... reversed;
• size - by file size;
• size_reversed - ... reversed;
• creation - on Windows by creation date, on Unix by file properties change;
• creation_reversed - ... reversed;
• access - by access time;
• access_reversed - ... reversed;
• written - by modification time (Default);
• written_reversed - ... reversed.

To get "predictable" order, sorting orders other than "none, "name"/"name_reversed" and "natural"/"natural_reversed" apply "name" as a secondary sorting order in case of collision of the primary criteria.
