How do I organise items in a folder?

How do I organise items in a folder?  There is probably a really simply answer!  I want to change the order of items listed, but dragging doesnt work...

mrstrong98,
The solution you suggested is indeed the right one.  Just a few extra suggestions.  When prefixing filenames with numbers for sorting purposes, you should really use leading zeros to assure that they will sort correctly on your mac and any other devices.  So, if there is any chance that your book will have more than 9 chapters, then you should number them like this:
01 - My first chapter
02 - Another chapter
03 - Yet another
12 - The last chapter
I would suggest a similar naming scheme for any files that you need to always sort in a particular manner that can't be accomplished with the built in sorts.

  • How to report all items in a folder, including subfolders?

    I've got a folder structure like this:
    Examples
    Product1
    Ver1_0
    Ver1_2
    Product2
    ver5_5
    Ver6_0
    How do I generate a Report that lists all items in a certain
    subfolder, including all subfolders?
    For instance how to list all items in the Examples folder and
    below (e.g all items), or how to list all items for the
    folder /Examples/Product1 and below?
    I need to provide a read-only view of the items in a report etc
    for one user-group. There might be a better way than a
    report...!?

    The spaces in the folder structure got stripped off...
    Trying to show it by prepending >'s instead of spaces to show
    the hierarchy:
    Examples
    Product1
    Ver1_0

  • How to delete all items in download folder under bookmark in the shortest time?

    I understand that all downloads from internet and yahoo/google mail are stored in the "Download" folder which I see under bookmark when I want to delete. I think that if the download folder is never emptied, then my mac will slow down. Therefore I want to delete these downloads which I have already seen. How do I delete ALL items in the shortest time? Deleting items, even in groups, takes a long time. Is there a method that I can use so that all items in the folder are deleted in one stroke?
    Thanks.

    Try (first button on toolbar) Organize > Select All (Command + A) to select all items in the right pane in the Library.

  • How to remove an item in a folder in Reminders on the IMAC

    I am trying to remove an item in a folder in Reminders on my IMAC.  I tried holding down the control key and clicking on the item.  Sometimes I get a pop up menu with the "delete" option.  But more often than none when I do this I get a pop up menu to cut, copy etc...not to delete.  Why the inconsistencies in holding down the control key and clicking the mouse?  Is there another way to remove the item listed in the folder?
    Thank you for your help.

  • How to retrive list item form sub folder (sub folders) in sharepoint using CAML or Server Object Model?

    Hi All,
    I have multiple folders in document library.I want to retrive list item form folder.
    Following is snap
    I want to get all sub folder and list item in

    Any will be help appreciated..
    Thanks
    Balaji More

    Hi Balaji,
    If
    you want to query all folders and sub folders of a list or document library, you have to define extra query options. If you are working with the object model you have to set the
    ViewAttributes property of the SPQuery object as follows:
    qry.ViewAttributes = "Scope='Recursive'";
    you can use the client 0bject model to get this as well
    ClientContext clientContextObj =
    new ClientContext("http://Servername/");
    List yourDocLib = clientContextObj.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Shared Documents");
    CamlQuery camlQueryObj = new CamlQuery();
    camlQueryObj.ViewXml =
    @"<View Scope='Recursive' />";
    ClientOM.ListItemCollection listItems =
    yourDocLib.GetItems(camlQuery);
    clientContextObj.Load(listItems);
    clientContextObj.ExecuteQuery();
    foreach (var item in listItems)

  • How to tell if item is a folder or volume with applescript or shell script?

    I am working on a service in Automator that will eject the selected drive when it is finished. Unfortunately automator can only tell the difference between files and folders for the service menu.
    Im wondering if if i can use an applescript or shell script that would check if the selected folder is a volume or folder and quit the action if its a folder. I figure the best way to do this is have it determine if the items path is in /Volumes/, but i am completely new to the process and have no idea how to do this.
    My automator workflow looks like:
    Ask for Confirmation
    Get Selected Finder Items
    Shell Script
    I have the path of the folder selected being passed into the shell script, but after its in there i dont know how to determine if its a volume or not.
    Thanks!

    K T,
    I completely missed that section of the forums, sorry
    Neil,
    I had that kind of script set up but it was like this:
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
    kind of item parameters
    end tell
    end run
    And i just figured out that i had to change the first line to "on run {parameters}" and now it works great.
    Thanks for the help, it got me going in the right direction

  • How Do I Share items in Shared Folder?

    hi
    Sorry but I copied a desktop folder to 'Shared Folder' but when I tried to copy to the ew user its said i have insufficient privileges to complete teh task even though I was an administrator?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Zahid

    Hi Zahid,
    When you drop a folder or file into the "shared" folder, you also have to set the privileges of the folder / file, to read only or read and write.
    Do this by
    1. Select the item to share, click on it > press "Command + I" for info. > you will see in the info. if you have read and write privileges
    2. If not, you can change it here by clicking on the arrow pointer next to "Owner, Group and Others" to read and write
    3. Now drop the item into the shared folder
    4. If this results in the same message, check that the "shared" folder is set properly by using 1. above
    Try this, and if any problems, post back.
    Regards,
    Robert.

  • How to  search  content items in the folder( include subfolders) with API?

    I want use UCM API to search contents in the folders including subfolders. I need a example code. thank you !

    If you have Folders properly installed, Standard Search form will have 'Folder' field and 'Include subfolders' check box. This means that you can use normal http function call to get results.
    Example:
    http://content.ravenna.com/idc/idcplg?IdcService=GET_SEARCH_RESULTS&QueryText=&SearchQueryFormat=UNIVERSAL&ftx=&AdvSearch=True&folderChildren=7&ResultCount=20&SortField=dInDate&SortOrder=Desc

  • How do I copy items to a folder created earlier in the script?

    Hey all.
    I am a self-confessed newbie. I have created a workflow that connects to a server and navigations to a particular directory and then creates a folder named via an "Ask for Text" action. However later in the workflow I want to copy template files form another part of the server into the new folder I created.
    The problem is I can get it to copy into the same directory as the folder I have created but not into the folder itself?
    Any help greatly appreciated
    D ^_^

    Yey. I fixed it myself using "Set Value of Variable" after my intital Folder Creation Workflow.

    Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

  • I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

    I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

    If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on.  The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

  • Does Anyone Know How to Display Number of Items in a Folder?

    After "upgrading" to Lion, none of my folder display the number of items in the folder --a nice bit of information that was available in earlier versions of the operating system.  Is there an automatic way to see that information? [I imagine there are other really inconvenient ways, but is there a nice CONVENIENT setting I haven't figured out?]  THANKS.

    From your View menu in Finder choose "Show status bar"
    EDIT: Also there is QuickLook which is no longer on the toolbar of the Finder window but you can choose from "Customize Toolbar".

  • How to store/view items in a server folder

    I have been searching for a way to store/view items in a folder on my sharepoint server.  Basically at work we have sharepoint setup and one of the pages shows documents that reside in a folder on the sharepoint server.  If I add a file to that
    folder and refresh the web page it will show up in sharepoint.  That is what I am trying to accomplish in my personal sharepoint installation.  I have a folder...(let's call it C:\Media) which contains some small home videos.  I simply want
    to point sharepoint to that folder and display it's contents for use.  As it stands now it appears the files are stored in a database because I am unable to track them down.  I have searched for a solution online to no avail and obviously it is possible
    because it is functions perfectly on my company's sharepoint.  

    SharePoint stores all files in the Content Database, or Remote Blob Storage (but RBS is less common). You must use SharePoint APIs in order to access files in the Content Database or RBS (accessing them directly places your database in an unsupported state).
    What your company may be doing is using a Content Viewer Web Part to display the location of a file share within a SharePoint page. This isn't a very flexible solution, so there are 3rd parties that have filled this space, proxy'ing requests between SharePoint
    and a back end file share, e.g. http://www.avepoint.com/sharepoint-connector-docave/.
