Task 8: Sorting the Contents of a Window
You sort the contents of a window so that you can more easily find the folders and files you want. Windows enables you to arrange the contents of a window by name, type, date, and size. All views show the sort, but the change is most apparent in Details view.
Sort in Details View
You can also click the column header in the Details view to sort by that column. Click once to sort in ascending order; click the column heading again to sort in descending order.
My Computer Sorts
If you are working in the My Computer window, you have different options for arranging the icons. You can arrange by name, type, total size, free space, or comment.
