Variable: denote-sort-dired-extra-prompts

denote-sort-dired-extra-prompts is a customizable variable defined in denote.el.

Value

(sort-by-component reverse-sort)

Documentation

Determine what denote-sort-dired prompts for beside a search query.

This concerns the additional prompts issued by denote-sort-dired about whether to sort by a given file name component and to then reverse the sort.

The value is a list of symbols, which can include the symbols sort-by-component, reverse-sort, and exclude-regexp. The order is significant, with the leftmost symbol coming first.

These symbols correspond to the following:

- A choice to select the file name component to sort by.
- A yes or no prompt on whether to reverse the sorting.
- A string (or regular expression) of files to be excluded from the results.

If the value is nil, skip all prompts. In this scenario, the sorting is done according to denote-sort-dired-default-sort-component and denote-sort-dired-default-reverse-sort.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in denote version 4.0.0.
