Sort files and folders

Choose a sort to change the order in which items appear.

Choose a sort

  • On Web, click a visible list-column heading. Click the active heading again to reverse the direction.

  • On iPhone, open the sort menu from the My Library toolbar or the up/down arrow in an owned folder header. Choose Sort By and Order.

  • Web and iPhone start with Date Created in descending order. Changing to a new sort keeps your current direction.

Choose the sort field

  • Web offers Name, Tags, Key, BPM, LUFS, Type, Plays, Duration, and Date Created. In folders, it also offers Custom Order.

  • iPhone offers Name, Date Created, Duration, BPM, LUFS, and Plays. Custom Order is available only in folders with a saved custom sequence.

  • Type, Tags, and Key sorting are Web-only.

Know how items sort

  • Name, Date Created, and Plays can order files and folders together.

  • Duration uses a folder's total duration; empty or zero-duration folders stay at the end.

  • BPM and LUFS place folders after metric-bearing audio files. On Web, Key and Tags also place folders and files without those values at the end.

Keep a custom folder sequence

A custom sequence belongs to one folder. See Create a custom folder order for the drag workflow.

Where the choice is saved

  • Normal sort choices stay on Web or iPhone where you set them. They do not sync with your account.

  • Custom Order is different: its sequence is saved with that folder.

Troubleshooting

If the order looks wrong, check the selected field and direction. Normal sort choices stay on the surface where you set them; choose Custom Order only in folders.
