It seems the .pdf files were uploaded into the ‘…wp-content/uploads/2014…’ location( i.e. probably using WordPress media manager to do the upload?), and that the page listing the .pdfs is a post. * It’s unfortunate that WordPress core functionality doesn’t have this great idea as a feature! (the ability to automatically alphabetize media/file attachments) * Maybe its time to look for a coded solution like [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) said? * How about these as other options?: * – Look for a plugin to add the desired functionality. For example Googling/searching“ wordpress alphabetize file attachments” comes with a link to this plugin: [Attachments](http://wordpress.org/plugins/attachments/) * – File a feature enhancement in Trac in hopes of adding this feature to the core: [Feature Enhancement in Trac](http://codex.wordpress.org/Development_Planning#File_a_Feature_Enhancement_in_Trac) * What do you think? * Thread Starter [krzysztof.k](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krzysztofk/) * (@krzysztofk) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploading-multi-pdf-files/#post-4974900) * Thank you for your answer … I am not great with coding so look for simple solution… part of the problem is answered buy how about the other part ? * I have found a plugin what lists posts from certain category on the page as links to the posts…… * is it possible to do the same with media files ? lets skip[ the alphabetical order it would be just the case of uploading pdf file give it a category and it would appear in the article automatically? * chris * [mjassen (mjjojo)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjjojo/) * (@mjjojo) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploading-multi-pdf-files/#post-4974912) * [@chris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chris/) * hm, if it would be acceptable to just upload the file and give it a category and have it automatically show up in the post? * Currently in the Media Manager Library there’s not the ability to assign a category to an uploaded file, but, there is the ability to attach each file to a post. * Since its desired to not have to do coding, what about going the plugin route? * So what about a workflow something like this: 1. Upload each file via the Media Manager 2. From the Media Manager Library, attach the file to the school website’s‘ policies’ post. 3. Find a plugin that does the rest of the work and displays any/all of that post’s file attachments. * googling “wordpress plugin to show post attachments” comes up with some suggestions for this type of plugin, for example among other hits, it came up with these four: * [WP Attachments](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-attachments/) [Attachment Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/attachment-manager/) [EG-Attachments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/eg-attachments/) [Download Attachments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-attachments/) * Maybe google search and look over the results and find one that has good reviews and seems to do what you need– what do you think?
