Sort your files

Sort your files in Google Drive so you can find them easily.

There are four ways you can sort a list of your files in Google Drive:

• Name: Orders files alphabetically by filename.
• Last modified: Orders files by the last time anyone changed a file.
• Last modified by me: Orders by the last time you changed a file.
• Last opened by me: Orders by the last time you opened a file.

Note: If you're on the "Recent" tab, you won't be able to sort your files.
