Sorting the Results

Top   Previous   Next

To help you easily review the results of your duplicate hunt, zsDuplicateHunter allows you to sort the results.

Sorting Files

ZsDuplicateHunter allows you to sort duplicate files within groups both while viewing duplicates by group and while viewing duplicates by path. There are three methods of sorting files available. You can choose between the methods on the View menu.

 

Sort Files by Time Ascending

This method sorts files according to timestamp with the earliest file displayed first.

 

Sort Files by Time Descending

This method sorts files according to timestamp with the earliest file displayed last.

 

Sort Files by Name

This method sorts files according to the path where the file exists.

 

Sorting Groups

There are two methods of sorting the groups of results. These methods are available only when duplicates are displayed by group. You can sort the results according to number of duplicates, or you can sort the results according to the Grouping Information. You can change the Sort Method on the View Menu.

 

Sort Groups by Number of Duplicates

Sorting by Number of Duplicates sorts the results so the group with the most duplicates is displayed first and the group with the least duplicates is displayed last. This is very useful when you are trying to speed up your computer by removing unused duplicates because you can concentrate on groups that have large numbers of duplicates.

 

Sort Groups by Grouping Information

Sorting by Grouping Information will do a smart sort of the groups depending on the options you have selected. This option is useful when you want to review the groups without worrying about the total number of duplicates in each group.
