Sort on timestamp should be maintained after closing and reopening a library
See original GitHub issueJabRef version
5.7 (latest release)
Operating system
Windows
Details on version and operating system
win64 latest
Checked with the latest development build
- I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
- I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
- Sort on timestamp
- close the library
- open the library the sort on timestamp is lost. the sort order can not be envisaged from the fields shown: group color; linked files; linked identifiers; Entry type; Author/Editor; Title; Year; Journal/Booktitle; Timestamp.
This sort on Timestamp has been possible for quite some time. It was lost during one of the updates. It would be a pleasure to have it back.

@bernhard-kleine by the way, JabRef 5.7 features the new “Automatic field editor” by @HoussemNasri , which can be found under
edit > automatic field editor. If you wanted, you could copy or move data from the “timestamp” field to modificationdate or creationdate fields.There also is this preference:
