Chrome OS file manager gets new sorting functionality for thumbnail view

by John_A

acer_chromebook_13_clam_position_2_TAGoogle’s Chrome OS typically sees new functionality hit its dev channel before it makes its way downstream to normal installation, and that’s still the case with the latest feature to the lightweight operating system. 

The new feature involves being able to sort files in Chrome OS’s file manager, letting you filter things alphabetically, by size, by type, or by date modified. It’s really partly a bug fix, since Chrome OS has technically always been able to sort files, but up until now you haven’t been able to do that in thumbnail view.

The new sort functionality sits in the overflow menu of the file manager.

If you didn’t use thumbnail views, you may not have even noticed this bug, but rest assured, the fix has been implemented and is on the way.
