如何在Finder中按类别对macOS应用程序进行排序

If you’re like me, the Applications folder on your Mac is overflowing with apps, most of which you rarely use but still like to keep around. If scrolling through everything to find what you’re looking for is overwhelming, a simple trick lets you sort these applications by categories—like Productivity, Music, Education, and more.

如果您像我一样，则Mac上的Applications文件夹中充斥着许多应用程序，您虽然很少使用它们，但仍然希望保留它们。 如果滚动浏览所有内容以查找所需内容不胜枚举，那么一个简单的技巧就可以使您按类别对这些应用程序进行排序，例如生产力，音乐，教育等。

To get started, open your Finder and head to the Applications folder.

首先，打开Finder并转到Applications文件夹。

From here, press Command+J on your keyboard to open the View Options window. Alternatively, you can click View > Show View Options in the menu bar.

在这里，按键盘上的Command + J以打开“查看选项”窗口。 或者，您可以在菜单栏中单击查看>显示视图选项。

Click the “Arrange By” dropdown, and select “Application Category.”

单击“排列方式”下拉列表，然后选择“应用程序类别”。

Just like that, your Applications will be sorted by Category! The sections used in the Mac App Store are all represented, but all applications will be sorted, not just Mac App Store ones.

这样，您的应用程序将按类别排序！ Mac App Store中使用的部分均已表示，但所有应用程序都将进行排序，而不仅仅是Mac App Store中的应用程序。

If you switch to View as Icons (Command+1), the Finder offers rows for each category. It looks great, though might not be for everyone.

如果切换到“以图标查看”(Command + 1)，则Finder将为每个类别提供行。 看起来不错，尽管可能并不适合所有人。

There’s one downside to the category view: a lot of applications get dumped into “Other,” presumably because their creators haven’t specified a category. Sadly, we couldn’t find any way to manually specify a category.

类别视图有一个缺点：许多应用程序被丢弃到“其他”中，大概是因为其创建者未指定类别。 可悲的是，我们找不到任何手动指定类别的方法。

Even so, this is a useful trick to know about, and just might make it easier to browse your apps. I kind of wish Launchpad used these categories—I might even consider using it then!

即使这样，这也是一个有用的窍门，并且可能会使浏览您的应用程序更容易。 我希望Launchpad使用这些类别，然后甚至可以考虑使用它！
