Apr 20, 2017  Many Mac users sort their files by name and type, but one of the most useful ways to sort files is by date. The Mac Finder allows for various different date based sorting options for files, documents, applications, and folders, and they’re all typically best utilized in the Finder List view. Assuming it's just a folder, open the folder in Finder. Then click the 'Detail' view button. Finally, click the 'Size' column. The largest files will sort to the top. Additionally, folders within this folder are also sorted by size - simply click the triangle next to them, and you will see their files sorted as well. Nov 13, 2018  Tip: Table columns don’t sort independently from each other—all the cells in a row stay together when you sort a column. If you want to sort a column separately, first sort the column, then copy all the cells in that column. Then Undo the sort (to revert to the previous table sort order) and paste the copied cells back into the column.

Hello Sebastian,
From your description, I understand that mail folder sorting is not retained when Outlook is closed.
I will assist you to resolve this issue. Provide more information for better assistance:
1) How many email accounts are configured in Outlook? If multiple, is sorting not retained for all the accounts?
2) How did you sort the folders? Is it selecting the folder and click on Move Up or Move Down?

Try the following methods and verify the result:

Method 1

Start Outlook through the following command and verify the result:

* Hold Windows key + R.
* Copy and paste, or type the following command in the Open box, and then press Enter:

Outlook.exe /resetnavpane
Note: There is space between Outlook and /

Method 2
If issue still persists, create new profile, sort the mail folders and verify the result:
Follow below mentioned instructions to create new profile:
Go to Control Panel and click on Mail icon as specified above.

  • Click Add and inn the Profile Name box, type the name that you want to use for the new email profile, and then click OK.
  • Click Next after Outlook finds your account information.
    Note: You may also select Manually configure server settings or additional server types to manually configure the email account.
  • After Outlook finishes the setup for your account.
  • Click Finish to finish the setup for your email account.
  • Open Control Panel, and then open the Mail item for Outlook 2013.
  • Click Always use this profile, select the new profile that you created and then click OK and then try starting Outlook and verify the result.

Hope the above information is helpful. Reply with the result and necessary information and I’ll be glad to further assist you.
Thank you.

I have a folder full of folders and files. I want to sort files by size (so I could remove the largest files).

I know how to do that in Windows Explorer, but I can not find a way to do it in Mac OS X Finder.

Windows 2003:

  • open folder in Windows Explorer
  • click button Search
  • leave Search for files or folders named and Containing text text fields empty
  • click button Search Now
  • sort by size

Is there a way to do something like this in Finder on Mac OS X?

Intertherm furnace mac 1165 manual 2017. Open Terminal, cd to the folder you want to analyze and use this command:

It should print a list of all files in the hierarchy, sorted by size. At least on my machine, which is not a Mac, but some other Unix. But in principal it should be roughly the same.

Thanks to Richard Hoskins for the bug with the spaces in the names. That's actually a feature in xargs. See this site where it's explained quite nicely. Above version should work now.

Edit

Here is an explanation how the command works:

find . > find items from current working directory '.'

-type f > search for regular files

-print0 > print full file name to standard out, ending with a null character, instead of newline (this is for handling filenames with newlines and white space by xargs)

xargs > execute command xargs (executes a command for every line in standard in)

-0 > line delimiter is null character

ls -l > the command for xargs to execute. This way we get the details especially the size of the files.

sort > sort lines in standard in

-k5,5rn > sort field definition, begin at field 5 (delimiter default is blank) and end at field 5. That's the size field in ls -l display. r stands for reverse sort order, so that the biggest files are on top and n stands for numerical sort order.

Editing options are numerous, to say the least. Selected clips appear in the main application interface and can be added to a conversion list that processes your video and saves the edited version to a location of your choice. Edits are easy to preview, making the process fast and accurate. You can adjust video speed for fast or slow motion, play with the frames, add music and audio tracks, and access GoPro Edit Templates in case you don't want to create your video project from scratch.

Assuming it's just a folder, open the folder in Finder. Then click the 'Detail' view button. Finally, click the 'Size' column. The largest files will sort to the top. Additionally, folders within this folder are also sorted by size -- simply click the triangle next to them, and you will see their files sorted as well. (Don't 'open' the folder by double-clicking, just click the triangle to expand their contents.)

If you wanted to do a search, you can search by file size. Go to the File menu, and choose Find. Click the list that starts out saying 'Kind,' and choose 'Other.' Select Size from the list that comes up. Enter your criteria and search. However, I cannot find a way to make the search results display the file size column, so it's easier to use that to, say, find files greater than a certain size than to actually sort by size.

  • Navigate to the folder in the finder.
  • Momentarily enter anything in the search field on the toolbar.
  • Once you have the search mode active you can delete what you entered to avoid filtering on that text.
  • Click the (+) icon at the right to add a search criteria.
  • Select File size, is greater than, and whatever minimum threshold works for you.
    • Zero (0) is an option, but enough results may make things slow.
  • You may need to right-click (control-click, two-finger click, etc) on the column headers to √ the Size column.

It will look something like this:
