How to Sort Media in Filio Web App

The Sort Media feature in Filio helps you organize and view your project media based on your preferred criteria, such as date, tags, elevation, AI captions, or weather data. Sorting makes it easier to review large data collections, track site progress, or prepare reports efficiently.

Step-by-Step Guide to Sorting Media

Step 1 – Open Filio Web App and Select a Project

Log in to filio.io and open the project you want to review.
Your media will appear on the left, with the map view or plan sheet view displayed on the right.


Step 2 – Click on “Sort By”

At the top of your media list, click the Sort By button (next to filters).
This will open a pop-up window with multiple sorting options.

Step 3 – Choose a Sorting Field

From the dropdown menu, select the criteria you’d like to sort by.


You can sort your media by:


Date & Time


Description

Taken By


Tags


Labels


Elevation


GPS Precision
Weather Condition


Weather Temperature


Wind Speed


Video Transcription


AI Caption

Step 4 – Set the Order and Apply

Choose whether to sort Ascending (A→Z / oldest→newest) or Descending (Z→A / newest→oldest).
Click Sort to apply the setting — your media will instantly rearrange based on your selected field and order.

Tips and Warnings

Combine sorting with filters (such as tags, AI captions, or timeline) for precise project reviews.

  • Use AI Caption sorting to quickly identify specific content types (e.g., “concrete,” “ceiling,” “inspection”).

  • Sorting by Weather Condition or Elevation is especially useful for geotechnical or field inspection projects.
  • Only synced media will appear in sorting results — unsynced local media from mobile won’t be included.

  • Sorting resets if you refresh or switch between projects, so reapply filters if needed.
