Hide and go sort

Posted by: Steven Saviano, Software Engineer, Google Docs & Spreadsheets

We've gotten an unprecedented amount of feedback since we launched the redesigned document list last month. As promised, we're considering all your suggestions -- positive and, ahem, "constructive." Today we've added two new features that topped your lists: sorting and hiding.

• Sort your documents: Click on column headers to sort by document name, date changed, starred/unstarred and shared with. Click twice to change from ascending to descending order.
• Hide is back: The archive feature is back, now called "hide." You'll notice a Hide button in the document list toolbar that will remove selected documents from view. You can always get back to hidden documents by selecting "Hidden" on the left. It's easy to unhide a document by selecting "Unhide" or simply dragging the document to a different folder.

As always, keep those suggestions coming in our help group.
