Hi - I have 35 files in a folder, numbered 1, 2 etc but they don't show in order. Is there a way to put them in numerical order? thanks.

    Hi Charles, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Have you checked out this article on Sorting Files and Folders in Box?

    For numbered files that go into double digits (or higher), "0" must be used to fill digit spaces for the numbers to display correctly. For example, if you have a list of items that goes to 15, use "01" instead of "1" for the order to display correctly.

    Then why are my files 4511, 4510, 4515, 4513?

    Oh, I see, I have to put it in list view first before I can sort it. Thanks for the info!
