where are sort categories on local and remote files?

On previous versions of Dreamweaver the local files and remote files had sort categories at the top of the site file windows for size, type and modified.  I used these all the time. I can't find them on Dreamweaver cc 2017.  Is there a preference I can use to get them back or are they in some other place ? I can't imagine something so useful being deliberately removed or hidden.

    I assume you mean the column headings in the Files Panel.   See screenshot.

    Thanks.  They do come up when I right click. I was getting ready to ditch this and reinstall an earlier version. I work on many, many sites. It seems that I'll have to go through right clicking for every column header on every single site since doing it for one does not automatically show them on other sites. Is there away to set this as a preference? It's not in the preference menu, I looked. How annoying for Dreamweaver to hide what I consider the most time saving feature that I use every time I work on a site.

    For what it's worth, I agree with you.  I feel it should be turned on by default.

    Currently, there is no Preference setting.
