sorting files

rovr provides multiple ways to sort files and folders in the file list, allowing you to organize your view based on different criteria.

accessing the sort menu

You can access the sort menu by:

• clicking the sort button in the action button menu
• pressing , to open the menu

sort criteria

rovr supports the following sort options:

type	keybind	description
name	a	sorts files alphabetically by their name
extension	e	groups files by their file extension
natural	n	uses natural sorting, which handles numbers in file names more intuitively (e.g., “file2” comes before “file10”)
size	s	sorts files by their size
created	c	sorts files by their creation time
modified	m	sorts files by their last modification time

toggling sort direction

You can toggle between ascending and descending order:

• keybinding: d (when sort menu is open)
• this switches the current sort order between ascending and descending

The sort menu dynamically updates to show the current direction for each sort option.

persistence

Your sort preferences are automatically saved and persist between sessions. When you close and reopen rovr, it will remember:

• your selected sort criteria (name, size, extension, etc.)
• your sort direction (ascending or descending)

Optionally, you can enable This path only in the sort menu to apply to only the current directory.
