To specify whether to show files in bytes, KB, MB, GB, in the Display File Sizes in box, click one of the following options:

To adjust the font type and size display of all text in the Local Drives tab, Queue Window, and Remote pane, click Local, Remote, Queue Window Font.
-
To sort file lists by the value of each digit or by whole number values, in the Sorting area, select one of the following options:
-
To sort file lists by the value of each individual digit, select Use standard lexicographic sorting for alphanumeric file names.
-
To sort file lists by whole number value, select Use Smart Sorting for alphanumeric file names.
-
Click Apply if you are going to make changes to other pages; click OK to save changes and close the Global Options dialog box.
Smart Sorting always lists file names with smaller numbers first. For example, A2 comes before A12. David Wincelberg developed Smart Sorting. CuteFTP uses it by default. Standard Lexicographic sorting lists file names using one character at a time reading from left to right. For example, A12 comes before A2. MS Windows uses Standard Lexicographic sorting by default.
