Android's file picker (DocumentsUI) resets sort order every time you navigate into a folder. This Xposed module persists your sort preference across directories and sessions.
Features:
- Tap a sort option to set the global default
- Long-press a sort option to save per-folder preference
- Per-folder overrides take priority over global default
Requires LSPosed framework, Android 11+ and root access.
Supported packages:
- com.google.android.documentsui (Google Pixel)
- com.android.documentsui (AOSP)
WhatsNew:
- Apply module updates to a running file picker without a force stop on API 102 frameworks
- Target libxposed API 102 while still supporting API 101 by mirsella (https://github.com/mirsella)
- Restore the original app icon by 0xRJDev (https://github.com/0xRJDev)
- General performance improvements and a 35% smaller APK
- Upgrade build stack: Gradle 9.8.0, AGP 9.4.1, Kotlin 2.4.20
Updating from 3.0.0 still needs one force stop of the file picker.
Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.
Wants root
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
