Sort Files and Folders

You can sort your files and folders by Name, Date Modified, and Size. Simply click the appropriate header to sort. Click the squares icon to show the files in a grid image format. Click the lines icon to show the files in a list format. When you define a sorting order in yourFiles window, Box applies that sorting order as the default sorting order in all your Box windows.

For numbered files that go into double digits (or higher), “0” must be used to fill digit spaces for the numbers to display correctly. For example, if you have a list of items that goes to 15, use “01” instead of “1” for the order to display correctly.
