      I. Introduction to Document Center Organization

      The Document Center supports five great options to keep documents organized and easily findable:

      • Drag and drop

      • Sort by name

      • Sort by date

      • Star

      By default, new files are sorted by upload date until any changes are made to this sorting order via drag-and drop (for more on this, please see Section III.)

      After this first change, all files below the dragged file and the first file above it make a new sorting group. Files uploaded after this are placed above the group.

      II. Sort Files by Name or Date

      Note: file order reverts to Default between Document Center visits.

      To sort files alphabetically, or by date of upload:

      1. Click Sort by at the top of the document list

        1. The following options drop down:

          1. Default

          2. Name (A-Z)

          3. Name (Z-A)

          5. Date (newest to oldest)
