Sort the download links on the customer download page by name, attach date, file size, or upload time. Useful when you have many files per product and want them in a specific order — alphabetical for ebook chapters, newest-first for course updates, etc.

Available on all paid plans. Sort applies to the download button + page method only — not the bullet-point list method. See delivery method settings if you need to switch.

When you’d use this

  • You sell ebooks with chapters and want them in story order, not random.
  • You deliver course material in a specific learning sequence.
  • Customers see “the most recent file is buried” and you want newest-first.
  • You want predictable A-Z ordering for clarity.

Sort options

  • Asset name (A-Z) — alphabetical, ascending.
  • Asset name (Z-A) — alphabetical, descending.
  • When attached (Latest) — most recently attached to the product first.
  • When attached (Oldest) — first-attached first.
  • File size (Small) — smallest first.
  • File size (Big) — largest first.
  • Upload time (Latest) — most recently uploaded to Fileflare first (regardless of when attached).
  • Upload time (Oldest) — earliest-uploaded first.

How to set the sort order

  1. In Fileflare, go to Settings.
  2. Open Digital Delivery page in the Branding section.
  3. Scroll to Asset priority sorting order.
  4. Pick the option you want.
  5. Save.

The new order applies immediately to all customer download pages.

Common issues

  • Sort doesn’t apply to my customer’s download page — they’re probably on the bullet-point list method, not the button + page. Switch the delivery method (see callout above) or accept that bullets are unsorted.
  • I want a custom order, not one of the presets — not currently supported. The presets cover the common cases. Workaround: rename your files with numeric prefixes (01-Intro.pdf, 02-Chapter1.pdf) so the A-Z sort gives you the order you want.
  • Order changes when I add a new file — by design (you’re sorting by attach date or upload time). Switch to A-Z if you want stability.
