4.3.3  Sort by...                                             TeraDesk

With these items you can select the order in which the files displayed
in a window are sorted. The possibilities are:

               1.   Sort by name
               2.   Sort by extension
               3.   Sort by creation date
               4.   Sort by size
               5.   View unsorted

Items  are sorted in  the ascending order  of the  selected parameter.
If that parameter  is the name  or name extension, sorting can be made
case-sensitive (default behaviour) or otherwise. See Case insensitive.
Sorting order can be reversed by checking the Reverse order option.

Note that the behaviour of the 'Sort by size' and 'Sort by date' modes
is  contrary to the  TOS desktop,  which lists  first  the largest and
newest files.

If you select  'View unsorted',  items are displayed  in the  order in
which they were stored on the disk;  note that this is not necessarily
the  same as  the order of  their creation,  but  depends also  on the
history of additions and deletions in the particular directory. Beware
that this option may not work in some filesystems, or when TeraDesk is
used on some emulators.

The mode selected applies to all open windows.

If you are running Tera Desktop in low or medium screen resolution and
TOS 1.0, the  'View unsorted' menu item  may not be visible because of
the  limitations of this TOS version.
