How do you sort documents by date?

When Nautilus (browser mode) has list view, a folder will display a bar above with e.g. name, date of change and so on. By clicking on date of change one can sort the list up- or downwards.

Another option to search documents and fine grade the search is
Places -> search documents

There is 'using views to display files and folders'. (Server is up again)

Thanks Federico Tello Gentile, that solved my question.
