When you first start Sally, panel contents are listed alphabetically, with directories first, followed by filenames. You can sort files and directories by name, extension, size, the date when the file or directory was last modified, or attributes. Sorting files and directories affects only the current panel contents. The sorting order is stored in the Sally configuration.
Files and directories ("items") can be sorted in ascending or descending order. To reverse the sorting order, choose the same sorting command again.
| Menu: | From the Left or Right menu, open the Sort By submenu and choose the required sort criteria. |
| Shortcut key: | Press Ctrl+F3 to sort by name, Ctrl+F4 to sort by extension, Ctrl+F5 to sort by date, and Ctrl+F6 to sort by size |
| Mouse: | To sort items by name, extension, size, date, or attributes, click the appropriate column heading above the items list. See Header Line. This option is available only when the panel is in detailed mode. |
| Toolbar: | Choose the appropriate sorting button in the Top or Middle toolbar or in the Left and Right panel toolbars. |
You can customize sorting in Configuration/Panels, see the Sorting section.
