Sorting, Grouping, and Filtering

It’s a computer—it had darned well better be able to sort your files

alphabetically, chronologically, or in any other way. But there are other
ways to impose order on your teeming icons. Grouping, filtering, and
searching can be handy, too.

Sorting Files

Sorting the files in a window alphabetically or chronologically is nice, but
it’s so 2014. You can now sort up, down, and sideways.

The trick is to click the “Sort by” drop-down icon, which is on the View tab
of the Ribbon. As you can see, it lists every conceivable sorting criterion:
Name, Date modified, Type, Size, and on and on. And if those 10 ways to

sort aren’t enough, you can select “Choose columns” from this menu to add
even more options to it: Attachments, Copyright, Data rate, and so on.
