FileVistaControl Sorting Root Folders

Hi,

We are dynamically adding root folders, and we noticed that the control sorts it alphabetically. Is there a way to override it so we can control the ordering.

Thanks

Open FileVistaControl\scripts\filevista.js and search for the first occurence of the string "treeNode.sortChildren();"

Cut this string and find few lines later the code block:

    //Select first root folder at start
    if (treeNode == tree.root && treeNode.childNodes.length > 0) {
        treeNode.childNodes[0].select();
    }

Paste it just after this code block and add "else" word in front:

else treeNode.sortChildren();


This way only subfolders will be sorted and not the root folders.
