You can change the default sort order that is used in folders using the

    <gui>Arrange items</gui> drop-down list in the preferences to sort by name,

    file size, file type, when they were last modified, when they were last

    accessed or when they were trashed.

    
You can change how <link xref="files-sort">files are

    sorted</link> in an individual folder by clicking the view options

    button in the toolbar and choosing <gui>Name</gui>,

    <gui>Size</gui>, <gui>Type</gui> or <gui>Last Modified</gui>, or by

    clicking the list column headers in list view.

  </item>

  <item>

    <title><gui>Sort folders before files</gui></title>

    
By default, the file manager no longer shows all folders before files.

    To see all folders listed before files, enable this option.
