# Thumbnail View - Sort

SharinPix supports 3 different sortings:

* [Sort by Date Taken](#sort-by-date-taken)
* [Sort by Date Uploaded](#sort-by-date-uploaded)
* [Custom Sort](#custom-sort)

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

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

## Sort by Date Taken

The date taken is the one provided on the image metadata. If the file format doesn't support date taken, the creation date of the file is used.

* Below is an example of the sorting by Date Taken in ascending Order

![](/files/dsHF4EmQTsMOhxSNuqy3)

* Below is an example of the sorting by Date Taken in descending order

![](/files/z7sS5G5voQx1eBXckyJ4)

## Sort by Date Uploaded

* Sort by Date Uploaded in ascending order.

![](/files/AoMedeu1rfu6RiUHEGHz)

* Sort by uploaded date in descending order.

![](/files/fWNSSatrOmBjWs5uGXTg)

You can check the documentation on [Search Thumbnail View - Sort](/documentation/features/user-interface/search-thumbnail-view-sort.md) for more info.

### Edit Position

* With Edit Position you can drag and drop images to change the order.

Note that if you have a lot of images and are in pagination mode, you should better go full screen before using the edit customized sort mode as scroll is working in a better way with drag and drop than pagination.

**Note:** If the current album hosts a significant number of images while you are in pagination mode, it is recommended to the activate the **fullscreen mode** before activating the **edit mode.**

{% hint style="success" %}
Sort is also available on SharinPix Search Component. Click [here](/documentation/features/user-interface/search-thumbnail-view-sort.md) to see how to set up sort on Search Component.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
