Sizing, Arranging, and Sorting Columns in Tools

Some desktop tools present information in columns, such as the Current Directory browser.

To change the column width, drag the separator bar between two column headings in a tool. When a column is too narrow to show all the information in it, position the cursor over an item and the full value for that item displays like a tooltip.

To rearrange the columns in a tool, drag the column header to a different position. To sort the information by a particular column, click the column header. For example, in the Current Directory browser, click the Last Modified date to sort the items in date order. Some columns also allow you to reverse the sort order by clicking the column header again. A small gray arrow in the header indicates the current sort order--for example, an up arrow in the Last Modified Date column header indicates an ascending sort order, meaning the oldest files are at the top of the list.
