2. Drag the selected files to a new location in the File List.
3. To delete a custom sort order, click View | Sort, and then select Delete Custom Sort.
Selecting files
In the File List pane, you can select all of your files and folders at once, select all of the files in
the current folder, select only the image files, or clear your selection entirely.
You can also set an option to automatically select new files whenever you add them to the File
List.
