## Advanced customization
This component allows you to fully customize all of its behavior. You can pass a custom `sort`, `filter` and `map` function.
All functions you can pass work with the `FileNode` class, which has the following properties:

## Basic examples
These examples show the basic usage of `sort`, `map` and `filter`.
### Use `sort` to put files first
Using this example, the explorer will alphabetically sort everything, but put all **files** above all **folders**.
Using this example, the explorer will alphabetically sort everything.
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
sortFn: (a, b) => {
if ((!a.file && !b.file) || (a.file && b.file)) {
return a.displayName.localeCompare(b.displayName)
}
if (a.file && !b.file) {
return -1
} else {
return 1
}
return a.displayName.localeCompare(b.displayName)
},
})
```

node.displayName = node.displayName.toUpperCase()
return (node.displayName = node.displayName.toUpperCase())
},

```
### Remove list of elements (`filter`)
Using this example, you can remove elements from your explorer by providing an array of folders/files using the `omit` set.
Using this example, you can remove elements from your explorer by providing an array of folders/files to exclude.
Note that this example filters on the title but you can also do it via slug or any other field available on `FileTrieNode`.
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
filterFn: (node) => {
// set containing names of everything you want to filter out
const omit = new Set(["authoring content", "tags", "hosting"])
return !omit.has(node.name.toLowerCase())
return !omit.has(node.data.title.toLowerCase())
},
})
```
You can customize this by changing the entries of the `omit` set. Simply add all folder or file names you want to remove.
### Remove files by tag
You can access the frontmatter of a file by `node.file?.frontmatter?`. This allows you to filter out files based on their frontmatter, for example by their tags.
You can access the tags of a file by `node.data.tags`.
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
filterFn: (node) => {
// exclude files with the tag "explorerexclude"
return node.file?.frontmatter?.tags?.includes("explorerexclude") !== true
return node.data.tags.includes("explorerexclude") !== true
},
})
```
### Show every element in explorer
To override the default filter function that removes the `tags` folder from the explorer, you can set the filter function to `undefined`.
By default, the explorer will filter out the `tags` folder.
To override the default filter function, you can set the filter function to `undefined`.

```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"

// dont change name of root node
if (node.depth > 0) {

}
if (node.isFolder) {
node.displayName = "📁 " + node.displayName
} else {
node.displayName = "📄 " + node.displayName
}
},
})
```
### Putting it all together
In this example, we're going to customize the explorer by using functions from examples above to [[#Add emoji prefix | add emoji prefixes]], [[#remove-list-of-elements-filter| filter out some folders]] and [[#use-sort-to-put-files-first | sort with files above folders]].
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
filterFn: sampleFilterFn,
mapFn: sampleMapFn,
sortFn: sampleSortFn,
order: ["filter", "sort", "map"],
})
```
Notice how we customized the `order` array here. This is done because the default order applies the `sort` function last. While this normally works well, it would cause unintended behavior here, since we changed the first characters of all display names. In our example, `sort` would be applied based off the emoji prefix instead of the first _real_ character.
To fix this, we just changed around the order and apply the `sort` function before changing the display names in the `map` function.
### Use `sort` with pre-defined sort order
Here's another example where a map containing file/folder names (as slugs) is used to define the sort order of the explorer in quartz. All files/folders that aren't listed inside of `nameOrderMap` will appear at the top of that folders hierarchy level.
It's also worth mentioning, that the smaller the number set in `nameOrderMap`, the higher up the entry will be in the explorer. Incrementing every folder/file by 100, makes ordering files in their folders a lot easier. Lastly, this example still allows you to use a `mapFn` or frontmatter titles to change display names, as it uses slugs for `nameOrderMap` (which is unaffected by display name changes).
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
sortFn: (a, b) => {
const nameOrderMap: Record<string, number> = {
"poetry-folder": 100,
"essay-folder": 200,
"research-paper-file": 201,
"dinosaur-fossils-file": 300,
"other-folder": 400,
}
let orderA = 0
let orderB = 0
if (a.file && a.file.slug) {
orderA = nameOrderMap[a.file.slug] || 0
} else if (a.name) {
orderA = nameOrderMap[a.name] || 0
}
if (b.file && b.file.slug) {
orderB = nameOrderMap[b.file.slug] || 0
} else if (b.name) {
orderB = nameOrderMap[b.name] || 0
}
return orderA - orderB
},
})
```
For reference, this is how the quartz explorer window would look like with that example:
```
📖 Poetry Folder
📑 Essay Folder
⚗️ Research Paper File
🦴 Dinosaur Fossils File
🔮 Other Folder
```
And this is how the file structure would look like:
```
index.md
poetry-folder
index.md
essay-folder
index.md
research-paper-file.md
dinosaur-fossils-file.md
other-folder
index.md
```
