It's not about what "the point" was, it is about what we as users WANT. You seem to be missing that point. It is one of the reasons people are jumping the "other" NLE because they have been too busy telling users how to do their work in whatever way they think it should be done. I put in a feature request for icon view sorting by: Name, Timecode, date/time and meta.

That is what I want, because that is how it works best for me. To suggest storyboarding 500 clips when you really don't have to is the way you should work because this is how it was designed is a bit like "your hoding it wrong"

Thanks, yes found that same work around and it works, was more shocked by the whole "you are using it wrong" thing.

Anyway, I'm a bit late to the discussion. I guess Icon view rocks and is just really nice to work with! Really liking the way they show you if a clip has been used on the timeline and the IO points.

Simply give us an option to display in the same order as List view.

I agree. It seems like the easiest way for Adobe to add the functionality quickly. Barely a change to the GUI at all. Just a change deep in the bowels of the program that either creates a sort order, or changes the one in use. Either way, it should be fast and relatively easy. Yes, there would have to be a menu option added, but it isn't like we require a new button or anything that takes up space in the new uncluttered interface.

I don't see a reason it couldn't be in 6.03 or 6.04, especially for us Creative Cloud subscribers.

Edit: Oh! I forgot to add that I am about to go add my feature request to the list.

Edit again:  I submitted this:

*******Enhancement / FMR*********

We need a way to sort icons in the project panel.

Please add a menu option to the panel that overrides the existing sort and uses the sort selected in the List view. This option would only be available to the user when in Icon view.

For those people who go to a lot of trouble manually arranging the Icon view, please add a menu item that would be available in List view to use the sort order from the Icon view.

I've found this fix isn't working properly for me. In case anyone else has the same problem, a slightly different workaround I've found is:

1. Double-click/open the parent bin of the video files (this is important, don't just leave it in the project bin if you want the videos to have their own folder)

2. Create a new bin here, INSIDE the video files' bin

3. Put the videos in the new bin

4. Sort the bin as desired

5. Select all the videos, and drag them slightly to the left, so that when you release them, they'll just drop back into their original bin

6. Delete the new bin you created, which is now empty

Don't know why on earth that's what it takes for it to work for me, but there it is. Fingers crossed for an icon view sorting option soon..
