How to change how files are sorted in different folders in Dolphin?

  • 772

On Kubuntu 19.10, I would like the Downloads folder to be sorted by date modified, and other folders to be sorted alphabetically. However, whenever I sort the Downloads folder by Date Modified, every other folder is sorted that way as well. How do I set a custom setting only for the Downloads folder?

kubuntu dolphin

    Control > Dolphin preferences > General > Behaviour > View

    and mark 

    Remember properties for each folder

    Then go to:

    Control > Adjust view properties

    In the window that pops up, adjust the parameters as you want and then select:

    Apply to: Current folder

    or

    Apply to: Current folder and sub-folders
