Stacks in Mac OS X Snow Leopard allow users to organize and access files, applications, and folders directly from the Dock. Stacks automatically display their contents in different layouts depending on how many items they contain. Users can customize stacks by changing the view style and sort order. The Downloads stack conveniently collects all files downloaded from the internet in one central location for easy access.
