I want all the files in my Downloads folder to be sorted by modification date, but all other folders, and files in other partitions to be sorted by name. How can I do that?

Edit: I want Nautilus to remember these orders for each folder.

Go in Downloads, click on View Options and select By Modification Date:

nautilus

In other folders, do the same thing, but select By Name. Nautilus seems to remember this selection/sort order for each directory (I use GNOME nautilus 3.8.2).

  • I know how to choose sort by Name and Modification date, but my problem is that nautilus does not remember the sort order. What should I do?

  • @Ali Which is your nautilus version? You should update to nautilus 3.8.2. As I said, Nautilus 3.8.2 does remember the sort order Nov 5, 2013 at 19:08

    Nautilus 3.10.1 doesn't have that Down Arrow (or the Cog for Menu) in the toolbar, although you get the same Sort options in the standard View menu.
