Describe the bug

In yazi.toml i set directories first. This works.

But if I sort within yazi using "," and then go back to an alpha or normal sort the directories sort within the files.

Expected Behavior

When I return to an alpha or normal sort the directories should be first.

To Reproduce

Start yazi with directories sorted first. Sort by something else, for example ",M". Then sort by alpha ",a". You will see the directories are no longer first

Configuration

from yazi,toml:

sort_by = "alphabetical"
sort_sensitive = false
sort_reverse = false
sort_dir_first = true

Anything else?

I just moved over from ranger and LOVE yazi. Still at the stage of configuring and learning. Still need to figure out how to preview MS Office and Open Office files. Was able to do it in ranger.

Also would like to be able to specify files or extensions to be included in hidden files as is possible with ranger. This is a nice way to hide directories.

Thanks for the great work!

Hi, the sort command has a --dir-first option, you can do something like this if you want to keep the directories on the top:

sort alphabetical --dir-first

Doc of sort command: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/keymap/#sort

Still need to figure out how to preview MS Office and Open Office files

You can achieve this by configuring custom openers and previewers:

• Opener document: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/yazi#opener
• Previewers document: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/configuration/yazi#previewers

Also would like to be able to specify files or extensions to be included in hidden files as is possible with ranger. This is a nice way to hide directories.

There's a request about it #694

Thank you so much for the prompt response. The sort option does exactly what I need. I will check out the previewer options.

For some reason the link to previewers API on the site does not work. Is there somewhere I could see an example? Thanks

Yeah, it's here https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/overview#previewer

You can start by copying the json.lua file into your ~/.config/yazi/plugins/office.yazi/init.lua, then replace the jq command within it with a command that can preview MS Office file.

Perfect! Thanks so much.
