-<p>The way that you can sort files depends on the <em>folder view</em> that you are using (Icon, List, or Compact). The current view is displayed in a drop-down list at the top of the window. You can change it using the drop-down list, or by clicking one of the three options in the <gui>View</gui> menu.</p>

  <p>To sort files in a different order, right-click a blank space in the folder and choose an option from the <gui>Arrange Items</gui> menu. Alternatively, use the <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Arrange Items</gui></guiseq> menu.</p>
  <p>As an example, if you select <gui>Sort by Name</gui> from the <gui>Arrange Items</gui> menu, the files will be sorted by their names, in alphabetical order. See <link xref="#ways"/> for other options.</p>
  <p>You can sort in the reverse order by selecting <gui>Reversed Order</gui>  from the <gui>Arrange Items</gui> menu.</p>

  <p>The <gui>Compact Layout</gui> option in the <gui>Arrange Items</gui> menu arranges the files so they take up as little space as possible. This is useful if you want to have lots of files visible at once in a folder.</p>
