# Search Thumbnail View - Sort

This article demonstrates how to sort images in a Search component using custom sorting based on the

* image's **date\_taken**.
* Image's **date\_uploaded**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Warning:**

If the album contains more than 200 images, sorting cannot be performed.
{% endhint %}

## Enabling sorting images using a SharinPix Permission

To sort images on Search Components, follow the steps below:

1. Create a new [SharinPix Permission](/documentation/access-and-security/sharinpix-permission-object-how-to-create-and-assign-custom-permission.md) or edit an existing one (if applicable).
2. On the SharinPix Permission record, in the sort section, choose the sort field and Sort order.

**Tip:**

* The default Sorting field is '*Date\_Uploaded*,' and Sorting Order is '*Descending* '.
* For more information on how to assign the SharinPix Permission to the Search component, refer to this article: [SharinPix Permission object](/documentation/access-and-security/sharinpix-permission-object-how-to-create-and-assign-custom-permission.md)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sharinpix.com/documentation/features/user-interface/search-thumbnail-view-sort.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
