File sorting

With file sorting, the order of files in the browser can be changed by drag and drop. File sorting can only be created if a file data field exists in the data group.

If multiple files have been uploaded for each data record, file sorting will show all files and allow you to change the order.

Fnd the file controls in the "Elements" section of the "Applications" module under the "Images and files / File controls" element category. A new element can be created by dragging and dropping the element from here and positioning it on the workspace.

More information on creating elements can be found here.

The Properties dialog of an element opens automatically when a new element is created. The properties dialog of an existing element can be opened by double-clicking the element in the workspace, via the "Properties" context menu, or via the "Edit / Properties" main menu, if the element is selected in the workspace.
