We’re partial to Name (for an alphabetical list) and Last Modified (to put the most recent file you’ve touched on top), but see what works for you. Control-click the Desktop, choose Show View Options, and in the View Options window, choose from the Sort By pop-up menu. How can you control the order of the files within a stack? That’s trickier. We expect that grouping stacks by kind will work best for most people, with a few chronologically inclined folks opting for one of the date options. Finder tags: Tag-based stacks are useful only if you regularly assign tags to all your files.The date groupings can key off the date added, last opened, last modified, or created. Date: With date-based collections, each stack’s name and contents depend on what date ranges make sense, such as Today, Previous 7 Days, Previous 30 Days, October, 2017, and so on.Kind: These stacks are named for the type of file they contain, such as Documents, PDF Documents, Movies, Images, Screenshots, etc.You can create three basic types of stacks:
How does Stacks figure out which files are alike? You determine that by Control-clicking the Desktop and choosing from the Group Stacks By menu. If you don’t show disks on your Desktop, you can get a nice columnar view of what’s on your Desktop. If you open multiple stacks at once, each subsequent stack takes over a spot at the top of the screen and expands down. Click again to collapse the revealed icons back into the stack. Click once on a stack to reveal its contents below. Regardless, when you invoke Stacks, the Finder promptly collects all like icons-even new files, as you create them-together into one or more stacks of icons. Lastly, if you open the View Options window by Control-clicking the Desktop and choosing Show View Options, you can work with Stacks by choosing from the Stack By pop-up menu (below right). If you first click the Desktop, you can also find the commands for Stacks in the View menu: Use Stacks and Group Stacks By. In the Finder, the best way to invoke Stacks is by Control-clicking the Desktop and choosing Use Stacks from the contextual menu (below left). Mojave’s new Stacks feature brings that visual approach to the Desktop, organizing icon clutter into neat stacks that you can expand and collapse with a click, working with the revealed icons just as you’ve always done. If you’re sitting on the Group #3 bench–you have oodles of icons scattered willy-nilly`around your Desktop, and it bugs the bejeebers out of you-macOS 10.14 Mojave might have the solution: Stacks.Īpple has used the term “Stack” before, and still does, in relation to how the icons of folders in the Dock display, either as normal folders or as a stack of icons with the first on top. There are three types of people in this world: those who keep their Mac Desktop organized, those who don’t and don’t care, and those who don’t but wish they could.
