Sorting by Date of Creation or Modification

                 With  this  type  of  sorting,  files  and  folders  are
                 arranged on the basis of the date they were created
                 or the last date on which they were modified by the
                 user. The steps to arrange files and folders as per
                 the date of creation or modification are as follows:
                 Step 1  Click  on the  Sort by command under
                         the Current view group of the View tab.
                         A drop-down menu appears.
                 Step 2  Select the Date created or Date modified
                         option from the drop-down menu.
                                                                               Sorting files and folders according to
                 The  files  and  folders  will  be  arranged  as  per  the
                                                                                        date of creation

                     SEARCHING OF FILES OR FOLDERS

                 We should save our files in folders so that they can be easily found later when required. But
                 sometimes we actually forget where we have stored our files or folders. In such a case, rather
                 than browsing through File Explorer, we can simply search for them. Windows enables us to
                 search for files or folders through the search box that is always available in the File Explorer
                 window. You can use this search box in any of the following situations:
                    We remember the file name or folder name completely or some part of it.
                    We know the date of the last modification in the file or folder.

                    We know the file extension.
                 Let us learn how we can use the Search feature in Windows.
                 Searching of Files/Folders Using File Explorer

                 We can search files or folders through File Explorer if we exactly know the name of the file/folder or
                 the extension of the file. The steps to search for files or folders through File Explorer are as follows:
                 Step 1   Open the File Explorer window.
                                                                             Step 2   Type  the  file  or  folder  name
                                                                                      (or part of it) that you want to
                                                                                      search in the search box at the
                                                                                      top-right corner.

                                                                             Step 3   Windows will display the files
                                                                                      or folders matching the search
                                                                                      term.
