Sorting Files in a Folder: ORDER command

 

To sort the folder (or directory):

 

1Press F9 to access the action line
2Type order followed by a space and then one of the modifiers listed below.  If more than one modifier is used, separate the modifiers with a comma.  For example, to sort by filename in reverse order (z to a) the command would be:
order f,r
3Press F10 to sort directories.
Available modifiers are:
f to sort by filename
e to sort by extension
d to sort by last saved date and time
s to sort by size
p to sort by path name
r to sort in reverse order (used in addition to other modifiers)
h to add a header on top of directory

Once you type in the sort order,  each time you request a directory it will be sorted according to your specifications until you close Nota Bene.  To clear the sort command type F9 order F10.  Order does not rearrange the files stored on disk. It simply rearranges the way the list of those files is displayed.
