Sort tab of List Files Action allows applying three-level case sensitive sorting to the retrieved list. The list can be sorted by file name, extension, path, size, file creation date, file modification date, file access date. All sorting options work in both ascending and descending directions.
Furthermore, the user can choose to skip the specified number of files from the beginning of the list. In combination with sorting options this can easily be transformed to not listing the specified number of smallest or biggest, newest or oldest files as well as just skip some files alphabetically. The user can also limit the list size to any number of entries.
