File sorting

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

If several files have been uploaded per data record, the file sorting shows all files and allows the order to be changed.

The file control can be found in the "Applications" module in the "Elements" area under the "Images and files / File controls" element category. A new element can be created by positioning the element on the workspace from here using drag & drop.

Further 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 on the element on the workspace, via the context menu "Properties" or via the main menu "Edit / Properties" if the element is selected on the workspace.

General

Give the element a title. Information on multilingual titles can be found here.

You can also set whether the files should be listed horizontally or vertically.
