sort picutres and movies by size on Photos application

I am glad that apple developed a new feature on the Photos application with macOS Ventura which is called Duplicate. I delete up to 8000 duplicate pictures and videos, but I am looking for a way to sort my pictures and videos by size.


Please let me know how to sort them by size because it is not mentioned in this documentation

You can view the photos in your Photos Library sorted by size with the help of PowerPhotos. The free trial version will suffice for this(http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos) .

Power Photos can show you the Photos Library (or the albums in the Library) in a nice table view, with the metadata of the photos in columns. If you add a column with the size, you can sort the photos and videos by size by clicking the header of the column.


You can easily configure which columns will be shown, and can view any album in the column view.

Or view your albums in a thumbnail view with titles and subtitles below the thumbnails.

It can be done with the free version of PowerPhotos . Select your library, the Library. Under View ➙ Shot Columns select Size, Title or File Name, and any other item you need. Then click on the header of the Size column to sort in whatever direction you'd like.


Control (right) - click on screenshot and select Open New Window to see full size.


You can also select an image and go to it in the library easily.
