10.4: Group and sort Finder Spotlight search results
This is all very handy. But can someone figure out how to get "Group by Date" to use the modification date rather than the last-opened date? As soon as you open any file with this search result open, and you have selected "Group by Date," that file pops right up to the top of the list. I don't find this to be useful default behavior.

I just wanted to do the same thing- a find by content, sorted by creation date instead of "last viewed date" (which is the default date sorting method, and I agree, not very useful defauly behavior)- so I did a find in the Finder window, then switched to list view (command-2), then view-options (command-J), then make sure "creation date" is checked. Now "creation date" shows up as a column and I can click on the column header to sort by that instead of "view date".

This works great! and as expected. except it doesn't work on SMB shares. I don't know about AFP, but I CAN use spotlight on SMB shares and use Apple-2 and sort by date modified - it's just that when I add the date created column they are all "---" - so, nothing. |
