Hi govinda,

due to the shortness of your question - maybe it's not clear for me what your question is.
Maybe it helps, if you take a look at <a href="http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/end-user-discussions/alfresco-share/document-library-sort-order-021...">this post</a> for sorting documents in the document library.
Content modeling itself is described in the <a href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide">Alfresco Wiki</a> and several articles spread over the internet.

I hope this helps you further.

Sometimes it is working , sometimes not. please help
