Reorder and move files

Use these instructions to move files and change the order they appear in on a page. There are various sort options for reordering files. You can sort files by curated order, title, type, date created, last updater, or size.

Sort files in different ways

On the top right of a document library, you will see a word indicating how the files are currently sorted. Available sort options are:

• Curated: a sort order set by a page editor or admin (See Curated sort order below)
• Title: file title
• Type: file type
• Date: date created
• Updater: name of last person to update file
• Size: file size
  
  

Click on the current sort option to open a menu of sort options. Click on the sort option that you want and the files will automatically re-sort. All sort options (except Curated) are available in standard and reverse orders. Click on the arrow to the right of the sort options to reverse the sort.

Curated sort order

Page editors and administrators can curate files or folders on a page into a particular order, and this curated order is the default that will display for users that visit the page. A curated order can provide an ease of access or use for certain files that may not be achieved by the other available sort orders. Users can still select a different order in which to view the files, even if a curated order has been set.
