I suggest you ...

Create a keypress that will cycle through Column sort select

Allow the user to assign a key that will cycle through which column is used to sort the main list window.

I would like a single key that I could assign to my multi button mouse that would cycle the sort between Name, Creation Date, and size. But allow the user to set up which columns to sort by.

So if the user picks Apple + 1, when that is pressed, and the Name column is selected, it will set the next user selected preference as the sort column each time it is pressed.

This will make it easier then having to assign a different key to each sort mode.

        Great idea. I'd never thought of having a keystroke for this but it would save me quite a bit of mousing. I like the sounds of Control-Tab for changing the sort column (add shift to move backwards through the columns) and Option-Tab or maybe Control-Option-Tab for toggling between ascending and descending.
