Hi
Hi I'm using latest version of Phoca Download (v4.0.6) and I'm using it in back-end.
When I'm adding "New" file in "Select Filename" the files are sorted by file name.
My problem is that I have lot of files with similar name (difference in one letter or number) and I can't find last file uploaded in that.
Is there workaround to sort it by date, because I didn't find that option?
Has anyone else come across this problem?

Hi, when you click on the "date" header, then the files will be sorted by date.

Guys thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, but when I open "New" and under "Select Filename" I've got a new pop-up window, where the sorting is still by name. That's my problem, I have a lot of documents with a similar name, it's hard to find the last one.

Hi, when you click on select filename, than the list of files stored on server are displayed, so there is no option to sort them, it is just list of current files on server

Thanks.
Can you tell me which file calls the list from the server, so that I can try to change/add the sorting?
Right now it's impossible for me to work like this, I spend more time looking for the file than everything else combined :D

Hi, this is in fact not connected to Phoca Download and it is standard filesystem problem which is mostly solved by using folders.
The view which displays the files on the server is:
administrator/components/com_phocadownload/views/phocadownloadmanager/view.html.php (plus its output, model and controller)
