The Sort tab of the 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, and 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 into not listing the specified number of smallest or biggest, newest, or oldest files, as well as just skipping some files alphabetically. The user can also limit the list size to any number of entries.
