The old Buffer Menu Mode would sort only on 4 columns:
M-x buffer-menu -- sort by display time
M-2 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by name
M-3 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by size (ascending)
M-4 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by mode
M-5 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by file name
M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- go back to sorting by display time
The new Bufer Menu Mode can sort on 7 fields:
M-x buffer-menu -- sort by display time
M-0 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by current buffer (there is none!)
M-1 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by read-only
M-2 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by modification flag
M-3 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by name
M-4 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by size (descending)
M-5 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by mode
M-6 M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by file name
M-x Buffer-menu-sort -- sort by the column at point
Repeating any of these twice reverses the order. If sorting by size
descending, then sorting by size again switches to ascending.
I can live with these changes except for one: How do I disable
sorting so that it goes back to the default order of buffer-list? The
only way to do is to kill the buffer for Buffer Menu and run C-x C-b
to reopen it.
M-x buffer-menu -- update the list, but keep the sort
C-x k RET M-x buffer-menu -- go back to sorting by display time
Maybe it could with the M-0 argument since it's not being used. Or
maybe a M-- argument since negative columns don't exist? Although,
with 7 columns to remember now, maybe sorting the second to last
column with M-- M-2 should be available.
Otherwise looking forward to Emacs 24.3!
