00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:05,380
[Autogenerated] hi And this lesson, I'm

2
00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:08,180
gonna show you how to sort library items

3
00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:11,310
in a document library. Let's go ahead and

4
00:00:11,310 --> 00:00:14,430
let's go to our job descriptions document

5
00:00:14,430 --> 00:00:16,990
library going to click on the link, and it

6
00:00:16,990 --> 00:00:20,540
takes us here by default. SharePoint

7
00:00:20,540 --> 00:00:25,240
Document libraries sort the documents in

8
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:27,970
alphabetical order by the name of the

9
00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:30,150
document. You see, we have the name column

10
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:32,990
here, and when we look down it, we see

11
00:00:32,990 --> 00:00:36,120
that all of our documents in here are

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,660
sorted alphabetically by the first letter

13
00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:42,950
of that name. Now we don't have to stick

14
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:44,840
with that. We can change the way they are

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,860
sorted. Let's say that we want to go ahead

16
00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:50,220
and sort this alphabetically in a

17
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:53,570
descending order from Zito, eh? We can do

18
00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:56,120
that. You see over here, next to the word

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,100
name at the top of our column or column

20
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:00,260
header, you'll see the little drop down

21
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:03,180
era. When I click there. I get this little

22
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:05,430
window and it says a dizzy, which is how

23
00:01:05,430 --> 00:01:07,220
it's sorted now. So if I clicked on this,

24
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:09,710
nothing would change. But I could go ahead

25
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:12,860
and select Z to a descending, and when I

26
00:01:12,860 --> 00:01:16,000
click there, look at that. We are now

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,250
sorted alphabetically in a descending

28
00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:22,030
order from ze to eight. So our first item

29
00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:24,810
is the office assistant job, and the last

30
00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:29,210
one is the accountant job and notice. Now

31
00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:31,900
at the top next to our column header. We

32
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,470
have that little arrow pointing down that

33
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:39,210
lets me know that this document library

34
00:01:39,210 --> 00:01:41,930
has been sorted by this column in a

35
00:01:41,930 --> 00:01:45,100
descending order. And if I change it now,

36
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:48,330
if I go ahead and make it a sending, you

37
00:01:48,330 --> 00:01:51,500
see the arrow now is pointing up, and once

38
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,710
again we're sorted A to Z in an a sending

39
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:57,660
order. Now we can also go ahead and sort

40
00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:01,140
by other criteria by other columns. We

41
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:03,250
have two other columns here, the Modified,

42
00:02:03,250 --> 00:02:06,080
which shows us when the documents were

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,390
modified and the modified by column, which

44
00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:12,170
shows us who the documents were modified

45
00:02:12,170 --> 00:02:16,080
by last. So let's go ahead and let's sort

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,040
by the modified header will sort these.

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,780
When we click on the little drop down we

48
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:24,720
see that instead of eight is easy to a. It

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,630
now says, older to newer and newer, older

50
00:02:27,630 --> 00:02:30,750
because it recognizes that this is a time

51
00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:33,720
function time and date. So we're gonna go

52
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,740
ahead and choose older to newer. And when

53
00:02:38,740 --> 00:02:41,210
we do that, it shows us the documents that

54
00:02:41,210 --> 00:02:45,750
were edited or modified. Two hours go

55
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:53,390
first. And then about an hour ago, last

56
00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:55,820
and again we see our arrow pointing up,

57
00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:58,080
which lets us know that this library has

58
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,410
been sorted by this column. And if we

59
00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:03,980
change from newer toe older, it'll go

60
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:06,550
ahead, our arrows pointing down. And it

61
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:11,350
sorts by that column from the newest to

62
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:14,320
the oldest modified documents. But notice

63
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,570
that now that we've changed which column

64
00:03:17,570 --> 00:03:20,740
our library has been sorted by, we no

65
00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:23,820
longer see the arrow over here. Next to

66
00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:28,240
name you can on Lee, sort by one criteria

67
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,900
in this document library. Let's go ahead.

68
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:32,280
Let's do one more, and that is the

69
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,240
modified by. We have our names, and if we

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,390
go ahead and sort A to Z alphabetically, I

71
00:03:41,390 --> 00:03:43,800
want you to see that the first group is

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,830
Gary Coulson, but it's not because it's

73
00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:48,960
his last name. It's not sorting by the

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,670
last name. It's sorting by the first name

75
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:55,530
because it is Gary. The 2nd 1 is Olivia,

76
00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:58,160
and the 3rd 1 is Pierce. If we're going by

77
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,070
the last name, obviously Pierce Boyd B o I

78
00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:05,150
d would be first so you can see it's only

79
00:04:05,150 --> 00:04:07,740
sorting by the first name the first letter

80
00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:10,530
of the first name now And we have our

81
00:04:10,530 --> 00:04:12,310
little arrow pointing up for a sending.

82
00:04:12,310 --> 00:04:13,620
And if we go ahead and change it to

83
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:17,370
descending you see, now we have it sorted

84
00:04:17,370 --> 00:04:21,410
that way. Now, these sorts don't stay in

85
00:04:21,410 --> 00:04:24,850
place once you leave the document library.

86
00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:28,440
Unless you save this as a view. And that's

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,800
another lesson for another time. Let me

88
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,430
show you what I mean. I'm going to go out.

89
00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:36,510
I'm gonna go to my home page and then I'm

90
00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:40,540
going to go back to our job descriptions

91
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:43,960
library and you'll see all of the sorting

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,270
that we did is off. And we are sorted once

93
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:51,590
again alphabetically A to Z by the name

94
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:54,990
column. So now you know how to sort items

95
00:04:54,990 --> 00:05:06,000
in a SharePoint document library. Thanks for listening. And I'll see you next time
