file-sort by access/modification time not working about fzf-tab HOT 21 CLOSED

You can set sort tag to false to let fzf-tab respect to the original order.

zstyle ':completion:complete:ls:argument-rest' sort false

from fzf-tab.

Thanks. Because the fzf command is given the argument --layout=reverse, the file-sort completion needs to be reversed to get the right order:

zstyle ':completion:*' file-sort access reverse
zstyle ':completion:complete:*:argument-rest' sort false

The fzf argument --no-sort seems to be unnecessary.

Edit: Reversing the file-sort is no longer necessary.

from fzf-tab.

Could you explain in more detail how to implement this?

function toggle-fzf-tab-sort() {
  if (( _no_sort_fzf_tab )); then
    zstyle ':fzf-tab:*'    extra-opts '--sort'
    zstyle ':completion:*' sort       'true'
    unset _no_sort_fzf_tab
  else
    zstyle ':fzf-tab:*'    extra-opts '--no-sort'
    zstyle ':completion:*' sort       'false'
    _no_sort_fzf_tab=1
  fi
}
zle -N toggle-fzf-tab-sort
bindkey '^T' toggle-fzf-tab-sort

from fzf-tab.

You can also add --tac to extra-opts to reverse the list.

As I understand it, you went the way statically calling the plugin sort or nosort? Option switch did not implement? Bad, I'll use my fork!

No. See #58 (comment).

And how it will help me to change sorting on the fly? What I showed in the screenshots.

Wish I knew what you mean. Fortunately you have your fork.

Toggle plugin from sort to nosort when you type something either. My rejected PR 😉

@webmastak #58 (comment) appears to do what you are asking for. If not, you can always use your fork.

Thanks, I'll try.

After comparing the version of the plugin which is in my fork and the current one. I noticed that when sorting is disabled, the results are different and the plugin in my fork shows better.
Can I fix it somehow?

Current plugin:

My fork:

from fzf-tab.

@webmastak Your fork has diverged too much. It's a lot of work go through all the changes, guess what config you are using, just to answer your question. If you ask better questions, you'll get better answers.

Your fork has diverged too much.

The fact is that no matter how the code under the hood changes, the output to the user should be the same in all versions!

Which block of code in the plugin is responsible for sorting the results?

from fzf-tab.

@webmastak It's a bug. I introduced GNU sort in d7ed42b and it seems always doesn't work as I expect...
I give it a simple fix in f0627fe, before I find the right way to use GNU sort.

from fzf-tab.

Thanks a lot. Your plugin is the best. 👍

I'd like to get the list sorted this way, but I'm not seeing an effect after adding the suggested config. Might I be misunderstanding what is required or the order? I have tried commenting my own completions.zsh and even the junegunn/fzf parts, but files are still being ordered alphabetically.

@mxmilkiib You should also specify the file sort: zstyle ':completion:*' file-sort access

And make sure you're using ls not something like exa.

from fzf-tab.

Thanks, whoopy, I realise I somehow broke that link, the file-sort access bit was on 191.

I was looking for file-sort modification anyway.

From this modification order;

(and this access order
)

Without fzf-tab, and with file-sort modification I get;

Without fzf-tab, and with file-sort access;

With fzf-tab, and with either of the sort, I get;

@mxmilkiib

zstyle ':completion:complete:ls:argument-rest' sort false only disable sorting for ls. You should use zstyle ':completion:complete:*:argument-rest' sort false if you want to disable it for every commands.
