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 in Filio

Step 1 – Open Filio Web App and Select a Project

Log in to Filio and open the project you want to review in the web app. Your media appears on the left, while the map view or plan sheet view appears on the right, making it easy to organize photos and videos as you review the project.

Step 2 – Click on “Sort By”

At the top of the media list, click Sort By next to the filters. This opens the sorting menu, where you can reorder media based on the field that matters most for your review.

Step 3 – Choose a Sorting Field

From the dropdown menu, choose the field you want to sort by. Filio lets you organize media using common review fields as well as field-documentation details.

You can sort 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 Ascending to sort from A to Z or oldest to newest, or choose Descending to sort from Z to A or newest to oldest. Click Sort to apply the setting. Your media list will instantly update based on the selected field and order.

Tips for Sorting Media Efficiently

Combine sorting with filters such as tags, AI captions, or timeline tools to review project media more precisely and find documentation faster.

  • Use AI Caption sorting to group similar content quickly when reviewing documentation such as concrete, ceilings, inspections, or site conditions.
  • Sort by Weather Condition, Weather Temperature, or Elevation when reviewing field records for geotechnical, forensic, or site inspection workflows.
  • Only synced media appears in web-app sorting results, so unsynced mobile media may not show until upload is complete.
  • If you switch projects or refresh the view, recheck your sort and filter settings before continuing your review.
