Sorting using the quick search

[eja]

I am going through a lot of vacation photos.  Mixed in with the jpegs are .mov files.  I simply want to display only the .mov files.  When I use the quick search function it comes up with an empty search.  If I use the Find function it displays all of the files with the .mov files highlighted.  How can I simply display the .mov files?

Using os 10.11.1
PM 5.0 build 16960
Macbook air 11"

Thanks

There is no way to filter out a specific file type, but you could create a custom sort that would force movies to be at the top and stills (everything that isn't a movie) to the bottom.  Then all of your selected movies would be together at the start of the contact sheet.

You could use {mediatype} as your primary sort value.
