Tech Tip – Use File Explorer's "Group By" Feature for Better File Organisation

Organising files in File Explorer can make it easier to manage and locate documents. The Windows "Group By" feature allows you to categorise files by various attributes, such as date, type, size, or name. Here’s how to use it:

- Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder you want to organise.

- Right-click in an empty space within the folder, hover over Group by, and select an attribute to group your files by (e.g. Date modified, Type, Size).

- The files in the folder will now be grouped according to the selected attribute, making it easier to sort and find specific files.
