[Q] Can the SD Card sort order be changed?

[blueeagle69]

Hi.

When printing from the onboard SD card in Marlin mode, new gcode appears at the top of the list.
However when printing in touch mode, new gcode appears at the bottom of the list.
But be a bit of a pain when you have have a few files on your SD card.
Can this be changed?

Thanks.

No,its a marlin's setting.U need to mod the firmware under config_adv.h

[blueeagle69]

In Marlin mode, new Gcode appears at the top.
In TFT mode it appears at the bottom.
In Marlin I have already got #define SDCARD_RATHERRECENTFIRST enabled.
SDCARD sort Alpha is not enabled, as this apparently isn't needed for LPC1768 chipsets.
With these settings Marlin mode shows Gcode in the correct order.
If it works fine in Marlin, changing this would only make things worse.

Let me check if in config.ini for TFT there is an option

Cheers, but I didn't notice one when compiling.

Sorry. For now I haven't find somethink that tell me how it order the files
Maybe here:
`bool Get_NewestGcode(const TCHAR* path)
{
uint32_t date=0;
FILINFO finfo;
uint16_t len = 0;
DIR dirs;
char status = 0;

if (f_opendir(&dirs, path) != FR_OK) return false;

len=strlen(path);
while (f_readdir(&dirs, &finfo) == FR_OK)
{
if(finfo.fname[0]==0) break;
if((finfo.fattrib&AM_HID) != 0) continue;

if((finfo.fattrib&AM_DIR) == AM_DIR)
{
  char  *nextdirpath = malloc(len+strlen(finfo.fname)+2);
  if(nextdirpath==NULL)                         break;

  strcpy(nextdirpath, path);
  strcat(nextdirpath,"/");
  strcat(nextdirpath, finfo.fname);

  status|=Get_NewestGcode(nextdirpath);
  free(nextdirpath);
  nextdirpath=NULL;
}
else
{
  if(strstr(finfo.fname,".gcode")==NULL)        continue;
  if(((finfo.fdate <<16)|finfo.ftime) < date)   continue;

  date=(finfo.fdate <<16)|finfo.ftime;
  resetInfoFile();

  if(len+strlen(finfo.fname)+2>MAX_PATH_LEN)    break;

  strcpy(infoFile.title,path);
  strcat(infoFile.title,"/");
  strcat(infoFile.title,finfo.fname);
  status = 1;
}

}
return status;
}`

into myfatfs.c

Cheers for the help.
I'll see if I can get my head around it 👍
