Ordering Folders

Jared Agee · 07/03/24

I am using the "newish" navigation pane with my projects. I have several reports and sheets that a typical user does not need to view or use. I have moved all of those to an "admin" folder. Unfortunately, "admin" puts the folder at the top of the list. Is there a character that I can use to put it at the end of the list (other than "Z"). I was hoping that there was a unicode character I could use, like whitespace, that would push it to the end? I current have it as "z_Admin", but that does not look very professional. I was hoping underscore or some other character added to the beginning would move it to the end. Any thoughts?

Hello @Jared Agee,

Folders by default will be at the top of your Workspace above individual assets (but they will alphabetized with respect to other folders).

If you want these out of your way you could make an admin workspace and name z_Admin to get it out of your way (workspaces are also alphabetized).

Randomly related to this is this Sheet I made which shows the sort order of symbols.

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for the response. Creating a separate workspace is not an option. We are using Control Center to provision projects and there are hundreds. I enjoyed your sheet. Are there any characters in which you are aware that sort after "Z"?

Thanks again.
