[[document-explorer]]
== Document Explorer
beta::[]
*Discover* has a *Document Explorer* with resizable columns, better data sorting and comparison,
and a fullscreen view.

. Open *Discover*.
. In the toolbar, click *Options*, and then click *Try Document Explorer*.
. Turn off the classic view and save the changes.

[[document-explorer-columns]]
=== Reorder and resize columns
Use drag and drop to organize the columns and improve the view of the data.
To reorder columns, do one of the following:
* Click *Columns*. In the pop-up, select the column you want to move and drag it to the new location.
* Click the header of the column you want to move. In the dropdown menu, click *Move left* or *Move right*.
To resize a column, drag the right edge of the column header until the column is the width that you want.
Column widths are stored with a saved search. When you visualize saved searches on dashboards, the saved search appears the same as in **Discover**.

[[document-explorer-sort-data]]
=== Sort data
Sort your data by one or more fields, in ascending or descending order.
The default sort is based on the time field, from new to old.

By default, columns are sorted in the order they are added.
For example, to sort by `order_date` then `geo.country_iso_code`, make sure `order_date` appears first.
