I would like a very simple and easy feature in CC. When I analyze files to clean out I sometimes find a few mb and sometimes like 900 mb. What I would like is a "sort by size" button before I decide to remove the files. This is for two reasons. One, it feels better knowing what big files I remove. Two, it's very interesting to see where on the drive these big files accumulate and why, what have I done to create them?
As it is now it's very hard to skim through and find the big files and it's also difficult to search for them.
Not the most necesarry feature, but wouldn't it be nice to have?
If the Analysis output list were shown in a listbox akin to a classic Windows explorer 'details' view, then you could click on the headers to sort by name/date/size/type and sort them forwards and backwards.
This is one of the most frustrating things I have to do when first running CCleaner on a 'new' PC which hasn't been cleaned before - wading through several thousand entries to see if there are any important big files - and certain types of files - it's always these which are the most likely to be an issue (with the user as they never have any backups) if accidently deleted.
I have found on several occasions databases, thumbnail indexes, and other key files in the analysis list after 10's of minutes of close scrutiny, which I would have found within seconds if I'd been able to sort by size or type. The fact that the size of the file is simply appended to the end of the filename doesn't help either, your eyes become very frazzled after a few minutes of zigzag scanning.
This is pretty much the only reason why I registered on this forum, as I thouht this feature is so important.
Many thanks
ps. Having now searched through the forums, (keyword 'size') I can find repeated requests for this as far back as Feb07 - if nothing else it shows that this is a constant and repeated suggestion, frustrating many people over the years.

An alternative, or additional improvement, would be to put the file size at the START of the row, NOT the END of the row. It would also be nice if it had a vertically aligned fixed format. My eyes get very tired finding the zig zag far end of every row - and when long paths require a horizontal scroll I go ballistic.
