How do I rearrange the drive order in "Devices" sidebar in Nemo? (lemmy.ml)

Hello all,

I'm currently running Mint 22.3 Cinnamon and I would like to be able to rearrange my drive order in "Devices" section of Nemo file browser. It seems to be using alphabetical order at the moment, I'm not sure if it's even possible but any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically, I would like to move my "work" dive to the top of the list above my audio visual drive as that's my main drive I work on, and the removable "AV" drive just holds a temp pool of clips for editing.

Thanks in advance!

As was mentioned, you can bookmark them, and then rearrange the bookmarks.

Also, it's likely the drives can be renamed, if you think of an alphabetical naming scheme that gets the order you want.

Also, don't forget that you have the option to add a separate file manager, if Nemo doesn't quite fit your preference. I don't have a recommendation though - I really like Nemo.

I do have a recommendation: Double Commander, but I haven't used it much.

I think I've used Double Commander, as well. I really liked it!

It was great for bulk actions, if I recall.
