   7 \item[Sort Case Sensitive:]
   8   If this option is set to \setting{Yes}, all files that start with upper case
   9   letters will be listed first, followed by all files that begin with lower
  10   case letters.  If this option is set to NO, then case will be ignored when
  11   sorting files.
  12 \item[Sort Directories:]
  13   This option controls how Rockbox sorts folders.  The default is to sort
  14   them alphabetically. \setting{By date} sorts them with the oldest folder first.
  15   \setting{By newest date} sorts them with the newest folder first.
  16
  17 \item[Sort Files:]
  18   This option controls how Rockbox sorts files.  All of the options for
  19   \setting{Sort Directories} are available in this option.  In addition, there
  20   is a \setting{By type} option which sorts files alphabetically by their type
  21   (such as \fname{.mp3}) then alphabetically within each type.

  54   directory as the currently playing file. If \setting{Follow Playlist} is set
  55   to \setting{No}, when you enter the \setting{File Browser} from the WPS, you
  56   will find yourself in the directory you were in when you last left the
  57   \setting{File Browser}.

  59 \item[Show Icons:]
  60   Rockbox has the ability to display an icon to the left of the file
  61   in the \setting{File Browser}. For details of these icons, please see
  62   \reference{ref:Supportedfileformats}.
