Q: How do I change the view or sort order in Delta Drive?

My Drive draws your files three ways — Icons, List and Details — and remembers which you chose. Details adds the kind and column headings you can click to sort, clicking again to reverse. The Sort by button offers Name, Kind, Size and Date modified; choosing the one you're already on flips the direction. Folders always come first whatever you sort by, because a listing with folders scattered through it by size is one nobody can scan. See keyboard shortcuts.

Short answer: Pick Icons, List or Details in Delta Drive (it remembers your choice) and use Sort by for Name, Kind, Size or Date modified — choose it again to reverse. Folders always sort first.
