Marta, Under any set of files (or sub-files), there are headings at the tops of the columns, designating such things as Subject or Date Received (or Date Modified). If you click on the Date column, it lists according to the chronological order in which received or modified. If you click on Name or on Subject, it will list those alphabetically. Each individual file, say, in Documents (such as e-mails from a certain individual), uses the same method to get the columns to behave this same way. There is also an small arrow at the far right of the Subject/ Date line. Clicking on this will reverse the order so that the last is first, as best I can explain that. Try it and see what happens.
