In Eagle, Smart Folders and Filter mode use dynamic organization systems that don't support Custom Sorting. Here's how you can still control how your files appear in these views.

Smart Folders Sorting Options

Smart Folders automatically update their contents based on your filter conditions, which means manual sorting isn't available. This is by design to ensure proper management of dynamically changing content.

If you need to control how files appear in a Smart Folder, consider:

Using different filter criteria (creation time, color, keywords, etc.)
Adjusting these filters to indirectly influence the display order

Filter Mode Sorting Options

When using Filter mode, you can sort your files based on various attributes:

Creation time
Modification time
File size
File name
Rating
Other available attributes

Filter mode sorting options

Important Notes

Custom manual sorting is only available in standard folders
Smart organization features prioritize dynamic content management over manual arrangement
Choose the most appropriate sorting attribute based on your current workflow needs
