How to rerangle files in downloads

The easiest way to do this is to create the subfolder Apps , and just put all your installers there. All different apps, different installers.

Go to your downloads folder, right-click the installer file, select to rename, and give it a descriptive title that you can recognize should you have to come back to it later. The bigger your downloads folder gets, the more sorting by name becomes fairly worthless. In Windows, the Date Modified column should be enabled by default.

After that you can click the column to sort. Click the column name until you see a down-arrow next to it, and that will put the latest file at the top of the file list. Your email address will not be published.

In any version of windows, when you download a document, you can immediately right click the item and have full function of that document to open, copy, move, etc When you go to move the file you can rename it as needed. In MAC, stacks gives you no functions other than open. In the downloads folder on MAC you have no move function other than to the trash.
