The Custom Sort plugin for Obsidian lets you dictate EXACTLY how you want your core File Explorer plugin to display your notes and folders. A sortspec.md file in your root vault folder can single handedly control the sorting of every folder in your vault by letting you:

• manually sort items
• dynamically sort items using various wildcard variables
• group items that don't match any of the sorting rules
• group notes and folders together or separately

My name is Cameron. I make comics, put together a scifi/horror anthology book, and now I'm trying to dabble in some video stuff taking the form of Video Essays about media I love, software/creativity thoughts, Short Films and Dumb Skits, as well as some straight up fictional paranormal explorations. Subs on YouTube are VERY appreciated!
