I understand that this induces a very mild feature creep, since sorting by path should now take the filename field into account. Thanks, Scott Miller

Thanks, Scott Miller Scott, It is probably not a good idea to apply too much magic to this problem. Behaviour that is ideal for yourself may be surprising to another user (i.e. reported as a bug). Instead of altering the content of a column based on the visibility of another column; it would be better to introduce another column type: "Short Path". When the column needs to be sorted it could be sorted as per the existing "Path" column. I think this would be easy, but unexciting, to implement. Jonathan Paton

I don't think that's a good idea. There already are enough columns, more than can fit even on big screens.
