Library to sort by filename and have search capabilities
At present, if you have a large number of files in the library, it can be very difficult to find the file that you want. This could be addressed by introducing the ability to sort by filename (as well as the present fields of Author, Title, Date etc), and by introducing a search capability.
I recently purchased an Edge, and transferred some files to it that were mainly journal articles, and organised in separate folders by subject on my computer. I was able to manually add tags to these files based on the folder, but some of these folders would have about 300 files. Most of these were easy to find on the computer, because they had filenames like "Weitzman1974.pdf" (i.e. author date). The field that the Edge uses have not been very useful - it is amazing how many documents have 'titles' like "Microsoft Word - ..." or empty title or author fields - these fields are often not paid much attention to by the author of a document, and hence have limited use.
The introduction of the ability to sort by filename, and a search capability, would make it much easier to find documents, and use the Entourage Edge in the way that it should be used.
