Tip: All files and folders in a folder are sorted alphabetically as default. If you want to set a specific sorting order you could choose to name your folders e.g.
01. folder name
02. folder name
03. folder name
etc.

Layout options

All users can choose between Grid, Large Grid, List, Large List, and Flexible Grid layout from the Change layout menu in the Main Window.
