Similar to the Windows Explorer, you can also sort the contents of the Media Pool according to certain parameters, e.g. names, file formats, picture sizes, sampling rates and so on.
In the Media Pool, click the parameter in the title bar according to which you want sorting. There are three statuses:
unsorted
sorted in ascending order
sorted in descending order
You can sort in accordance with a number of criteria. If you sort according to format and file size, for example, all JPG files are listed one after the other, while sorting within the JPG files is according to size. The same applies to any other format.
If the desired sorting order cannot be achieved, disable the sorting criteria for all columns and enable only those criteria that you really need.
You can alter the order of columns by dragging the column headings to the required location.
For pictures and bitmaps (Control Panel graphics) you can Activate lightbox view which allows you to sort pictures according to your own criteria. ...See Sorting on the lightbox.
