Google Documents & Spreadsheets adds sort options

The start page of Google Docs brought back the option to archive files, now it is called hide files. Important if you store personal information.

Another new option is sorting. Just click on a column header and your files can be sorted ascending by name, collaborator's name, starred status or by date. If you click the same place again and the files will be sorted descending. Unfortunately, the sorting options aren't persistent and every time you open a folder or the main view, the files will be sorted by the default option which is date.

Google Spreadsheets added a sort-bar so you can quickly sort the data in a single column without going to the Sort tab. And just like Excel, if you select some numeric cells from a sheet, you'll see the results of the sum at the bottom of the window. Click on the sum to get other simple results: the average, the minimum/maximum value and the number of selected values.
