# 2.5. About sorting and sort-modes

If you want to follow this introduction, it needs to enter at least 3 movie entries, so you can see how sorting works. Select Sort and choose what kind of sort you want. Sort by name means sorting the list in alphabetical order. The others are self-explanatory.

Let's sort the list by tape number. You can always change the sort direction in any sort mode, just select Sort->Change sort direction. The tapes are now sorted either from the highest to the lowest or from the lowest to the highest tape number.

Every sort mode and sort direction will stay as long as you choose another one.
