The VideoLAN Forums

Some bugs found:

"Sort By: Date Modified" does not work in Browse. (or in Videos tab when we set "Group By: Folders")

turn on/off incognito mode does not work when we go into a folder. (it works fine in Browse tab before we go to a folder or into internal/external storage)

(I'm sorry if I am re-posting the same bugs that somebody has already reported)

What version of the app are you using?
What do you mean by "incognito mode"?

version 3.6.0 beta 6

there is an Incognito Mode in the VLC app. (playback history doesn't save when turned on) its supposed to work as same as in browsers, right? (known as Private Mode / Incognito Mode / etc)

it does work but only if we turn it on before browsing our internal/external storage...

Sorry for the late answer. Could you please share a screenshot of the screen where the sort doesn't work? I am not able to reproduce.

Ok, it's clearer now.

"Sort By: Date Modified" does not work in Browse. (or in Videos tab when we set "Group By: Folders")

You mean that it's not displayed, right? It's on purpose because the sort cannot be applied in those cases. In the browse section it's because the browsing is handled by libvlc and it doesn't provide the file date.

Reproduced, I will take a look.

oh, so ​that's how it is...
if you really cannot do anything right now about sort, its ok...

But I really hope you will come up with someway to do it later in the development...
"sort by date modified" is really convenient feature...most of the other media players have that...
I mean, it couldn't be completely impossible right?

It's possible for local files without any doubt. But libvlc also lists distant files using different protocols (SMB, DLNA, ...) that do not support dates.
