File Sorting / Searching

I did some searching before I asked this. Will file sorting be a feature anytime soon? Creation Date, Name, File Type, Uploaded By User, Uploaded by Company. I'm a little surprised I couldn't find this before, unless everybody but me knows why it won't happen.

Files are sorted by the time they were created, newest first. There is no option to change the way files are sorted at this point, but we'll consider this feature for one of the upcoming releases.

While testing, I am seeing that we can't search for file attributes either... the sorting request could be replaced, if we could search for files by company, user, or partial name...
A file uploaded named woodtemple.jpg will not show up on a search for wood, but will show up if the full name is used.
Would it be easier to add these attributes as searchable vs. coming up with a sorting mechanism? I know that projectpier has name and date sorting on files.

That is the way MySQL fulltext index that we use for search works. It can search only for whole words. If you for instance used wood-template.jpg it would work as expected.

So because you rely on the MySQL index for searching, there is no way to search through those other attributes (user uploaded, company uploaded) correct?

Not at the moment. That information is not included in the search index.
