The 'size on disk' feature is really helpful when checking out cloud files that are no longer needed offline.
However, if I sort on 'size on disk' without a significantly narrow filter it (quite understandably) takes a long time.
It would be good to be able to interrupt the sort.
I currently kill and restart Everything (which is amazingly fast); but a cleaner interrupt would be a welcome addition to this excellent program.

Re: interrupt sort
During the sort, the statusbar should say, Sorting..., & to the right a graphical representation of progress.
You should be able to right-click the progress bar & Cancel Sort.

Re: interrupt sort
Other ways to interrupt the sort:
- Press ESC
- Double click the sort progress bar in the status bar.
- Change the sort order to something else (for example: Date modified)
- Change your search.
- Close the window or tab.

Re: interrupt sort
Excellent, thank you.
I often hit esc without really thinking about it on similar situations with other software, but somehow hadn't in this case.
