 * This plugin is awesome and is working great. I have a question though.
 * My client wants to be able to sort folders/directories by reverse file name, 
   but for files they want to use a custom sort order. I have set up a column for
   the custom sort order and that works fine on the files, but the folders are obviously
   still in ascending filename order and not descending. Since I can’t use the custom
   field to set a sort order for the directories (only files), I’m not sure if or
   how I can accomplish what they want.
 * If there is an easy solution to this, your help would be much appreciated!

 * Sorry no, there’s no way to do that with my system. It’s all in a single table
   and a table can only sort in one direction at a time.
