How to use the “Recursive” sorting mode in MyQuickMac Neo

If you are looking for a way to sort your files quickly and efficiently, you might want to try the “recursive” sorting feature in MyQuickMac Neo’s Custom Scan operation mode. This feature allows you to sort all the files within a folder and its subfolders with just one click.

This article explains how to use the “recursive” sorting feature in MyQuickMac Neo’s Custom Scan operation mode. Take a look at the full potential of Ambeteco’s technology by taking a glance at the exclusive guide on the Custom Scan (which will be published soon!).

When to use recursive sorting?

Recursive sorting is an efficient feature that can quickly sort thousands of files located throughout the directory tree. In addition, it can be especially useful for sorting files on flash drives or external drives. It is important to be cautious when applying recursive sorting, as some directories may have a unique structure that could be impacted if the sorting is not handled carefully.

Thankfully, with MyQuickMac Neo, you can rest easy knowing that you have access to the powerful Rollback feature. This feature is just like the famous “Ctrl-Z” keyboard shortcut, but it is specifically designed to help you undo any changes you’ve made to your sorted files. Whether you’ve accidentally sorted some files that shouldn’t have, erroneously applied recursive mode, or made unwanted changes, Rollbacks make it easy to revert the sorting. With MyQuickMac Neo’s “Rollbacks” on your side, you can confidently sort and organize your files without fear of mistakes or unwanted changes. You can learn more about Rollback in our 1-minute guide dedicated to it.
