Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 399)

Keep in mind that labels usually represent fairly broad categories, since there are only
five to choose from. You can always use log notes, comments, and the Label 2 property
to further refine the descriptions and categorization of your clips.
To change the label names
1 Choose Edit > User Preferences, then click the Labels tab.
2 Click a text field to highlight it, then enter a new name for the label.
If you wish, enter
different label names.
3 When you’ve finished, click OK or press Return.
Sorting Clips by Labels
After you set labels for clips, you can sort your clips in the Browser by their labels or use
the Find command to find clips based on the label you’ve applied.
To sort clips by label
µ
Click the Label column heading.
All clips are sorted by label and alphabetically within each label name. Unlabeled clips,
marked as None, are sorted at the beginning or the end of the list, depending on the
direction of the sort order.
For more information on sorting, see “Sorting Items in the Browser Using Column
Headings”
Sorting Items in the Browser Using Column Headings
Clicking column headings in the Browser allows you to sort items by any property displayed
in list view, such as Name, Reel, Label, Timecode, and so on. By default, items are sorted
by Name. In addition to the primary sorting property, secondary, tertiary, and further
sorting refinements can be made by Shift-clicking a column heading.
