Suggestions • Re: Make the folder's modified date synchronizes with its subfolders' modified dates

a descendant folder has a modified date that is more recent than the modified date of the containing folder.
(I suspect this is what you want?)

I want the changes in the modified date of all descendants (files and subfolders) to be reflected on the modified date of all parent(grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather etc.) folders.
For instance, there is the following nested chain (the modified date of the corresponding folder or file is indicated in parentheses)
Folder"A"(02.03.2016) -> Folder"B"(01.11.2018) -> Folder"C"(12.12.2021) -> ... Folder"Y"(02.12.2023) -> Folder"Z"(08.09.2022) -> absd.txt(08.09.2022)
If the modified date of the "abcd.txt" file has changed, then all parent folders in this chain also should change their modified dates
Folder"A"(21.08.2024) -> Folder"B"(21.08.2024) -> Folder"C"(21.08.2024) -> ... Folder"Y"(21.08.2024) -> Folder"Z"(21.08.2024) -> absd.txt(21.08.2024)

This might be unusable because most folders will be marked 'modified'.

Yes, they will be marked modified, but with the corresponding date of this modification, which will allow them to be sorted properly by Date Modified.
That is exactly what is needed.

Won't folders like C:, C:\Users, C:\Users\My User Name, C:\Users\My User Name\AppData get in the way?

How?

I will consider a property to show the timestamp of the most recently modified descendant.

Will it help to properly sort files and folders by the Date Modified column in TC or Windows Explorer?
