| Sorting files
1. Sometimes there are multiple files in a directory and it is useful to sort them to find the ones we want. To easily sort first select View →Details from the menu options. Now the Category listings above the first file allow us to sort. The basic option are Name, Size, Type, and Date Modified. 2. By clicking on one of these, the files in the directory will be sorted in ascending order (i.e. alphabetical) by that option. If the same option is clicking again, the files will be sorted in descending order (i.e. reverse alphabetical). 3. Let's sort by Name first. Click the Name field above the first file. Now click the Type field. Finally sort by Size. Copying files 1. Now we want to copy FindFile.txt and Story.txt to the Text Files folder on your disk.

This will take us to the Windows Explorer view. Now select the files FindFile.txt and Story.txt, then Right Click on one of them. This will bring up a small menu, select Copy from the menu.
