How to sort and select files and folders in Windows 10 [Tutorial]
The problem is that not only do we own tons of images ourselves, but we also download a lot of images from the Internet. These can be images from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+ and many other social networks, or images that are sent to us via email. And let's be honest: we don't spend the time necessary to sort all the images and use folders, but instead save them all in one place, which can quickly become confusing.
Although Windows gives us a default view for sorting files and folders, these settings are far from perfect, so I'll show you some ways to organize images and put your latest acquisitions at the top of the list for quicker access.
By default, Windows sorts image files alphabetically and in ascending order in folders, so when you download new images, you have to dig through a ton of images and waste a lot of time. If you downloaded an image from Facebook, for example, it can be even more complicated, as searching becomes a nightmare because the file name is not descriptive.
