Glo Glo: Sorting by File Size - Help please!

Sxygrrl · 07-06-2014, 01:59 AM

I bought a new Kobo and installed firmware 3.3.0.
I use Calibre 1.43 and have installed the latest version of KoboUtilities.

I am not happy with any of the sorting functions and defaults and have edited the .Conf file but cannot figure out how to sort by file size from LOWEST to highest. It defaults with the largest file being first. I really need this to be reversed.

Does anyone know how I can do this? Is it even possible?

I don't think there is any way to reverse the initial sort order, but once you have sorted by file size from largest to smallest then a left-to-right swipe will take you to the last page of results (the smallest files), and you can page backwards through the results from there.

I'm hoping that there is a code or something that I can add to the Conf file because it really doesn't seem logical that you can't adjust something as simple as a sort order. I really don't want to have to swipe through a ton of pages each time to get to the last page (aka smallest file). It might not seem like a big deal but I read a lot of fan fiction and not having it sorted from smallest to largest will be a real pain.

If this version of firmware can't do it, is there a similar firmware that I can downgrade to that will have this sort function but not be terribly slow?

As was suggested, just swipe the other direction!

What Geoff and Peter said! And this has never been a function in any firmware version that I can remember so downgrading won't help.
