The documents table can look something like this:

Clicking on the header row of the documents list will sort the list according to that column.

The arrows will indicate which column is sorted and in which direction.

Adjusting width

You can drag on the line between columns in the header row to change their size to your liking. Your preference will be remembered until next time.

Double click the divider between columns to auto resize to the content of the column.
This is useful viewing long document names.

The widths you change will only change for the user and not all users in the project.

You can drag on the header row of a column to rearrange the order of your columns.

If you drag the header outside of the table it will be hidden.
