You can arrange files in lots of different ways in a folder, for example by sorting them in order of date or file size.

-

The way that you can arrange files depends on the folder view that you are using (Icon, List, or Compact). The current view is displayed in a drop-down list at the top of the window. You can change it using the drop-down list, or by clicking one of the three options in the View menu.

- -
- Icon View -

To sort files in a different order, right-click a blank space in the folder and choose an option from the Arrange Items menu. Alternatively, use the ViewArrange Items menu.

-

As an example, if you select Sort by Name from the Arrange Items menu, the files will be arranged by their names, in alphabetical order. See for other options.

-

You can sort in the reverse order by selecting Reversed Order from the Arrange Items menu.

-

For complete control over the order and position of files in the folder, right-click a blank space in the folder and select Arrange ItemsManually. You can then rearrange the files by dragging them around in the folder.

-

The Compact Layout option in the Arrange Items menu arranges the files so they take up as little space as possible. This is useful if you want to have lots of files visible at once in a folder.

-
- -
- List View -

To sort files in a different order, click one of the column headings in the file browser (for example, click Type to sort by file type). Click the column heading again to sort in the reverse order.

-

You can add other columns to sort by. Click ViewVisible Columns, check the columns that you want to be visible, then click Close. You will then be able to sort by those columns. (See for descriptions of available columns.)

-
- -
- Compact View -

You can arrange files in Compact view in the same way that you can arrange them in the Icon view. The only difference is that you can't manually position the files anywhere you want; they are always organized as a list in this view.

-
- -
- Ways of sorting files - - - By Name -

Sorts by filename.

- - - By Size -

Sorts by the size of the file (how much disk space it takes up).

- - - By Type -

Sorts by the file type. Files of the same type are grouped together, then sorted by name.

- - - By Modification Date -

Sorts by the date that a file was last changed.

- - - By Emblems -

Sorts by the emblems that a file has. Files with the same emblems are grouped together, then sorted by name.
