The List View

As a list, you can see the contents of more than one folder at once. You can organize the list alphabetically by names, by the dates the files were last modified, by what kind of items they are, and other options.

The blue column heading is a visual clue that the contents are organized by that heading; single-click any other column heading to organize the contents by something else.

The tiny triangle in the column heading is a visual clue that tells you whether the information is sorted from first to last or last to first. Single-click the triangle to reverse the order. Try it.
