• Name – Alphabetical or numerical order using the file or folder names
• Date – Last modified date
• File Size – File size of files and folders. The file size of a folder sums the file sizes of all the items within the folder.
• Kind – Alphabetical or numerical order using the file type

Files are sorted in ascending alphabetical order, then ascending numerical order by default. Folders always display first. To edit the sort order, select the Sort By menu in the top right corner and select the appropriate sorting option.

Switching between views or folders does not reset the sort order.

Searching for Files and Folders

End users can search for files and folders within a selected folder. Search is a type-ahead search, which filters results with each typed character. Search terms are matched against the name__v field on documents records. In the thumbnail view, search terms are also matched against the title__v field. Search terms are not case sensitive.

Switching between views does not clear the search terms. The selected sort order also applies to search results.
