Is there a parameter to sort the file listing in either of
the load file name plugins. I need to list files in particular
folder, in detail view mode, sorted by the modified date in
decending order. (Most recent file down to the oldest file)

I can do all the above but the sort order and I do not see an
option in the PDF user file.  However, sometimes there are
undocumented options so I thought I would ask. (I know the
user can sort by clicking on the title block, but it would be
very nice to have it pre-sorted. )

Bob,

First, what version and build of Plugin are you using?

If you are using the latest version of Plugins, use the
un-documented "SORT_FILES" option to achieve your goal.

Here's how:

-- Example 01
-- LoadFileNamePlusPlus_SortByName.RMD
-- A. Razzak Memon
-- 10-10-2010 10:10:10 AM
   CLS
   PLUGIN LoadFileNamePlusPlus.RBL 'vResult +
   |MULTISELECT ON +
   |TITLE Select File +
   |VIEW_MODE DETAILS +
   |SORT_FILES BY_NAME +
   |FILTER MS Word Files (*.rtf, *.doc, *.docx)#*.rtf;*.doc;*.docx'
   RETURN

-- Example 02
-- LoadFileNamePlusPlus_SortBySize.RMD
-- A. Razzak Memon
-- 10-10-2010 10:10:10 AM
   CLS
   PLUGIN LoadFileNamePlusPlus.RBL 'vResult +
   |MULTISELECT ON +
   |TITLE Select File +
   |VIEW_MODE DETAILS +
   |SORT_FILES BY_SIZE +
   |FILTER MS Word Files (*.rtf, *.doc, *.docx)#*.rtf;*.doc;*.docx'
   RETURN

-- Example 03
-- LoadFileNamePlusPlus_SortByType.RMD
-- A. Razzak Memon
-- 10-10-2010 10:10:10 AM
   CLS
   PLUGIN LoadFileNamePlusPlus.RBL 'vResult +
   |MULTISELECT ON +
   |TITLE Select File +
   |VIEW_MODE DETAILS +
   |SORT_FILES BY_TYPE +
   |FILTER MS Word Files (*.rtf, *.doc, *.docx)#*.rtf;*.doc;*.docx'
   RETURN

-- Example 04
-- LoadFileNamePlusPlus_SortByModified.RMD
-- A. Razzak Memon
-- 10-10-2010 10:10:10 AM
   CLS
   PLUGIN LoadFileNamePlusPlus.RBL 'vResult +
   |MULTISELECT ON +
   |TITLE Select File +
   |VIEW_MODE DETAILS +
   |SORT_FILES BY_MODIFIED +
   |FILTER MS Word Files (*.rtf, *.doc, *.docx)#*.rtf;*.doc;*.docx'
   RETURN

-- Example 05
-- LoadFileNamePlusPlus_SortByAttributes.RMD
-- A. Razzak Memon
-- 10-10-2010 10:10:10 AM
   CLS
   PLUGIN LoadFileNamePlusPlus.RBL 'vResult +
   |MULTISELECT ON +
   |TITLE Select File +
   |VIEW_MODE DETAILS +
   |SORT_FILES BY_ATTRIBUTES +
   |FILTER MS Word Files (*.rtf, *.doc, *.docx)#*.rtf;*.doc;*.docx'
   RETURN

{Resulting Variables
 vResult            = OK                                  TEXT
 vLFNFileCount      = 1                                   INTEGER
 vLFNFileName1      = C:\RBTI\RBG90_64\Tutorial.docx      TEXT
 vLFNFilePath1      = C:\RBTI\RBG90_64\                   TEXT
 vLFNFileNameS1     = Tutorial.docx                       TEXT
 vLFNFileExt1       = .docx                               TEXT

}
