# 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.
