<title>Sort files and folders</title>

<p>You can sort files in different ways in a folder, for example by sorting them
in order of date or file size. See <link xref="#ways"/> below for a list of
common ways to sort files. See <link xref="nautilus-views"/> for information on
how to change the default sort order.</p>

<p>The way that you can sort files depends on the <em>folder view</em> that you
are using. You can change the current view using the list or icon buttons in the
toolbar.</p>

<section id="icon-view">
  <title>Icon view</title>

  <p>To sort files in a different order, click the
  <gui><media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/go-down.png"><span its:translate="yes">View options</span></media></gui>
  button in the toolbar and choose <gui>By Name</gui>, <gui>By Size</gui>,
  <gui>By Type</gui>, <gui>By Modification Date</gui>, or <gui>By Access
  Date</gui>.</p>

  <p>As an example, if you select <gui>By Name</gui>, the files will be sorted
  by their names, in alphabetical order. See <link xref="#ways"/> for other
  options.</p>

  <p>You can sort in the reverse order by selecting <gui>Reversed Order</gui>
  from the menu.</p>

</section>

<section id="list-view">
  <title>List view</title>

  <p>To sort files in a different order, click one of the column headings in
  the file manager. For example, click <gui>Type</gui> to sort by file type.
  Click the column heading again to sort in the reverse order.</p>
  <p>In list view, you can show columns with more attributes and sort on those
  columns. Click the
  <gui><media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/go-down.png"><span its:translate="yes">View options</span></media></gui>
  button in the toolbar, pick <gui>Visible Columns</gui> and select the columns
  that you want to be visible. You will then be able to sort by those columns.
  See <link xref="nautilus-list"/> for descriptions of available columns.</p>
