You can order the file list by the following: Name, File Size, Type, Modification Date, Random, and Custom. You can also switch ordering by clicking on the textual buttons in the top portion of the window, below the controls. The current order is underlined in the window(none will be underlined if custom order) and checked in the Order sub menu.
A new random order is created each time you choose it. This allows a quick sampling of the types of images contained in the list or for random display in Auto-Browse.
Custom order occurs whenever you manually make a change to the list order, such as Dragging selected files within the list view or Dropping files from another source(e.g. another ImageViewer list view, or the Finder).
To change the list order choose the appropriate command from the Order menu, or click the appropriate text button at the top of the window.
