How to Modify File Sorting Method

By default, when FileZilla/FileZilla Pro is sorting files in standard alphabetical order, it is case-insensitive and places directories at the top.

If you want to change where FileZilla/FileZilla Pro lists directories, or how it sorts names into alphabetical order:

1. In the main menu, click on Edit > Settings….
2. Select Interface > File lists from the menu on the left.
3. To change the way FileZilla/FileZilla Pro displays directories in its alphabetical listings, select an option from the Sorting mode drop down list.

• Prioritize directories lists directories first in standard alphabetical order.
• Keep directories on top lists directories first no matter which sorting method is used.
• Sort directories inline lists directories mixed in with files, so that all entries are in strict alphabetical order.
4. To change the way FileZilla/FileZilla Pro uses alphabetical sorting, select an option from the Name sorting mode drop down list.

• Case insensitive recognizes no difference between upper and lower case letters.
  For example:

• amplitude-test.doc
• ANTI.xls
• sample100.txt
• Sample11.txt
• sample12.txt
• Case sensitive lists upper case before lower case letters. For example:

• ANTI.xls
• amplitude-test.doc
• Sample11.txt
• sample100.txt
• sample12.txt
• Natural sort is case-sensitve and recognizes and sorts whole numbers, as opposed to only sorting digits.
  For example:

  • ANTI.xls
  • amplitude-test.doc
  • Sample11.txt
  • sample12.txt
  • sample100.txt
5. Click on OK.
