There was some talk on this subject a while back, but I never heard of a solution.

Is there any way to make a pane that will display/sort by the name of the last subfolder in a path?  I tried to figure out a way to do this with an expression, but I'm not that familiar with editing expressions, so I could use some help on this.

Thanks,

Larry

I have lots of situations where this would be useful to me!

Hmm, I did not know you could sort a pane other than in the options.  Can you sort by number of files?

I would be very interested in this as well.
Probably it is doable if we know a way to find the number of letters the last directory name contains, because then we can use the 'RemoveLeft' or 'RemoveRight' expression.

Any help?
Cheers

There was a suggestion before to get an expression to find the last folder by looking for the last backslashes in the path.  Unfortunately, I don't know enough about expressions to know whether or not this is possible.

Thanks for the feedback,

There is no *automated* way to do this atm, you can specifiy how many chars to look at , but this won't work for all cases.

So there is no way to get it to search backwards from the end of the path for the second "\"?

Thanks again,

You can get it search backwards, but only by a certain number of chars...you can't say stop if it hits a "\"

I hoped to get a way to solve this by this post:

but not very much response there either...
