Sort files and folders together #5

Can you directly generate a local file form after the list of drag-and-drop, and then implement the file and folder sorting together?

If you're talking about sorting notes and folders as equals within the list i would second this. Coming to Obsidian from other note taking programs, i definitely miss the ability to sort all items in the explorer, and not having all the folders always at the top of the explorer pane.

Obsidian Bartender I'd say is a more intuitive for this, as it allows simple drag and drop within the normal explorer. I forked it and made it work for the latest version of Obsidian since it was abandoned. Its drag and drop only atm and dragging folders isn't the cleanest experience at all times - haven't had time to work on it in a while but it might be closer to what you're looking for.

Thanks i'll give that a go. I had tried the original bartender and a fork by another dev but it was very buggy and broke some mobile stuff for me.

Ah yeah probably still has some of those since I focused on PC - but I'll make note of it for later. Another one is Make.MD but that comes with a variety of tweaks.

As far as I know, native Obsidian doesn't really support changing the order in the side bar in a way that folders and files are interchanged. The scope of this plugin is really just providing a way to conveniently rename items to have a consistent ordering across obsidian, file explorer view etc., and persisting this order even when this plugin is absent.

Anything that changes the way how the order is rendered in the tree view goes beyond what I'm trying to solve with this plugin, if there are other alternative plugins like Make.md or bartender, I would suggest to go with that if this is what you are looking for.
