    A huge improvement over the previous release! IMO, at least.

  • Brandon

    Great fixes! In the future would love to be able be able to sort ascending by name header or have it automatically sort by name. Keep up the good work.

    @Brandon – Hm, it’s supposed to sort ascending by name as default. By clicking the column headers you can toggle what you sort by (name, type, size or date) and direction (ascending or descending). If that’s what you ask for, it’s already there.

  • Brandon

    @PÃ¥l – I don’t know. On mine they won’t sort…it’s in some sort of random order and the size and date columns are all blank. The type all say Share. I’ve tried both through the connector and on the server itself and the same result on each. Any ideas?

  • http://blog.paks.no Pål

    @Brandon – Network shares don’t have size or dates. But sorting by nane should work, that is if you have installed version 1.0.0.5 or newer.

  • Brandon

    @PÃ¥l – Yes sir I have the latest version installed. It’s not a biggie. I still enjoy the add-in and use it quite a bit. If I figure out what is causing my inability to sort I will let you know. Thanks again for a great add-in!
