 <summary>Default sort order</summary>
- <description>The default sort-order for items in the icon view. Possible values are "name", "size", "type", "mtime", and "emblems".</description>
+ <description>
+ The default sort-order for items in all view modes. Possible values are:
+
+ - "manually": In icon- and compact-view modes, lets the user place and organize items any way the user wants them to be organized, simply by dragging each item to where the user desires. In list-view mode, this setting is equivalent to "name" (see immediately below).
+
+ - "name": Sort items by their name; for example, a file named "a.txt" will be sorted before a file named "b.txt". This is the default.
+
+ - "directory": Sort items by their full pathname. For example, a file named "b.txt" under the directory "/home/a" will be sorted before a file named "a.txt" under the directory "/home/zzz". Since Caja usually only displays files under one directory at any particular time, this setting will usually be equivalent to the "name" option (above), except in the Caja search tool, which can traverse files under multiple subdirectories.
+
+ - "size": Sort items by their file size, or if the items are directories, by the number of items they contain.
+
+ - "type": Sort items by their human-readable type description. Such type descriptions take the form of, for instance, "plain text document" or "SVG image". The type of the file is not necessarily related to the file's "extension" (see below).
+
+ - "mtime": Sort items by their respective times of last modification.
+
+ - "btime": Sort items by the date and time on which each file was created. Note that not all files have a recorded creation time, so this setting may not always work as expected, especially on removable media that are "formatted" with legacy filesystems such as FAT.
+
+ - "atime": Sort items by the date and time on which each file was last accessed. Usually, "accessed" refers to the last time the file was read by a user or a program. Note that, for performance reasons, some filesystems do not update this timestamp every time the file is read, so this field may be inaccurate.
+
+ - "emblems": Sort items by the names of the emblems (if any) associated with each item.
+
+ - "trash-time": Sort items by the date and time on which the file was moved to the Trash. This setting is rarely useful, as it only applies to files currently in the Trash.
+
+ - "size_on_disk": Sort by the amount of actual disk space each item consumes. This figure is usually slightly larger than the conventional size of the file, since most filesystems pad files out to an even multiple of the "block size", which on many filesystems is 4096 bytes or about 4 kilobytes. A few files may use less space on the disk than the conventional file size may indicate, due to a feature of some filesystems known as "holes". This setting will not necessarily sort directories by the number of files they contain, since the amount of disk space used by a directory is not necessarily related to the number of files in a directory; other factors that can contribute to a directory's actual size include the length of the names of each file within the directory, and, interestingly, how many files the directory used to contain.
+
+ - "extension": Sort by each item's file extension (if any). The file's extension is a part of the file's name, and may not reflect the actual contents of the file, unlike the "type" setting (above).
