- Prioritize thumbnails by dragging them. You can sort
thumbnails by filename, creation date, size, and several other
attributes by choosing a command from the top-right corner of
the Filter panel or from the View→Sort submenu. But you can
also create a custom sort by dragging selected thumbnails in
the Bridge. We want all the vertical (portrait-oriented) images
at the top of the window. The first three are already in place.
Hold down the Ctrl key (� on the Mac) and click each of the
other vertical (portrait-oriented) images, starting with Bubbles
Sam.jpg. Then drag the selected thumbnails so that they follow
the monkey in B0000366.dng, as illustrated in Figure 1-12. A
thick vertical line shows where the thumbnails will land.
The Bridge automatically saves your manual thumbnail reorganization
as a custom sort state. This means you can choose View→Sort→By
Filename to alphabetize the thumbnails, and later restore your manual
sort state by choosing View→Sort→Manually.Figure 1-12.- Switch to the Filmstrip workspace. Our next task is to evalu-

we’ll customize one of the Bridge’s default workspaces:
