Icon and List Views
The first time you launch Nautilus, you see folders and files represented as icons. This is the icon view, which is the default.
Try this: Look at your files and folders in two different views:
To see the contents of a folder as a list, click the View as pop-up menu and choose View as List.
To sort the items displayed in list view, click the column headers (Name, Size, Type, and Date Modified).
To return to icon view, open the View as pop-up menu and choose View as Icons.
To sort the items in icon view, open the View menu, choose Lay Out Items, and then choose a layout option. (For more about the layout options, see Choosing File Layouts.)
