I need to sort a folder by modification date. Here is what I have but does not work
tell application "Finder" to tell Finder window 1
tell its list view options
set sort column to column modification date
end tell
set currentFolder to target
close
open currentFolder
end tell
This works under Catalina. The only change I made to your script was to add column after modification date.
tell application "Finder" to tell Finder window 1
tell its list view options
set sort column to column modification date column
-- set sort column to column id modification date column -- alternative if above doesn't work.
end tell
set currentFolder to target
close
open currentFolder
end tell
BTW, you may want to look at KniazidisR’s helpful response to your following thread–it contains useful information on this topic.
thank you, can’t thank you enough. I do audio editing for TV. Its not the high tech audio magic I do, its all about the files and folders. Applescript does so much for me so I practically do not have to click. Thanks again. Have a blessed day.
