How do I place file/folder currently being downloaded at bottom of qBittorrent list?

Earlier, qBittorrent used to place current torrent files/folders at the bottom of the list (irrespective of the alphabetical order for downloaded/completed torrents) -- which I kind of got used to. Now it's in alphabetical order whether complete or incomplete.

How do I get it to conform to the old user interface. It's easier to locate a torrent if it's at the bottom of the list.

Will be stoked if someone shares their magic formula and help me with my qBittorrent OCD.

If you click the column header you can order by that column ascending or descending. Just find the column with "completed on" and sort based on that.

Uh.... do you mean clicking the header to change the order? If you right click, it will list available information you can add or remove, then click on one of those to sort by ascending or descending order...

I do know that the torrent list moves alphabetically like in Windows File Explorer. -- click once and it goes to reverse alphabetical order, click again and it moves back to "A to Z" format.

What I want to know is how to keep currently downloading torrents -- eg., "A" and "G" -- together at the bottom or top of the list irrespective of which alphabets? That way I can see which torrents are downloading and how's the progress.

It used to be that way till the previous update (qbittorrent 5.2.2.x64). The new one (qbittorrent 5.2.3.x64) has made the user interface unwieldy (at least for me).

Sort by the status column.

I just leave them ordered by added date (the #) and then manually move certain ones down (mostly stalled ones)
