Description

The only change I'd like to see in keepass2android is for it to provide a sort option that matches the KeePass Windows program.

Currently the Sort by... option seems to be a global setting, applying to all levels in the folder tree, as well as to the entries within all folders.

KeePass allows me to manually arrange the folder order at each level (keepass2android's Default option) but also sort entries within each folder by name. I assume the selected sort orders are stored within the database.

I'd like to be able to sort in keepass2android in the same way:

  • folders displayed in default (database) order
  • entries within folders sorted by name (or other field/attribute)

Thanks.

Research direction

Start from the existing “Sort by...” option in keepass2android and trace how folder order and entry order are applied at each tree level. Compare the current global behavior with the requested KeePass Windows behavior, then verify that folders retain database order while entries can be sorted independently by name or another field.
