Thanks! Great snippet and works as it should. Better than a plugin. 🙂
One question: Could you please change the code, so i can sort the images by size, too?
And in addition to my previous comment. Could you please add an additional, sortable column that displays the image dimensions? 🙂
That would be very handy.
Hi,
Any update on this please?
I am looking for the same thing as Bob: the ability to make that image file size sortable.
Thanks

Thank you.
Works exactly as stated. Excellent work. Many thanks.
This did not work for me. I added a function.php to my child theme then added this code, but it didn’t change my media page layout
Works perfect, just what I was looking for. Thanks 🙂
I’m a newbie blogger, thanks for this great share, it worked exactly as shared.
didnt actually work for me though
This is working great.
Thank you 🙂
