    sorting files


    In Vista I could sort files by date, type etc...
    How can I do that on the Windows 7 system?
    Thank you

    up on the top, where it says: Name, Date Modified,Type, Size.....if you just click on Date Modified it will sort it by date, ascending or descending...which ever you prefer.

    I didn't see those items up top.
    I then changed how I see the files to detail and then I found the items at the top.
    Now I can sort by date and or size.
    Thank you.
