Abstract

In a method and system, the method includes: acquiring a desktop thumbnail of each desktop screen in a desktop screen set, and collectively displaying all the acquired desktop thumbnails on a desktop home screen; listening to a sequence of tapping operations performed on the desktop thumbnails displayed on the desktop home screen, and determining a tapping location of each tapping operation in the sequence of tapping operations; and sorting and displaying, according to the tapping location of each tapping operation in the sequence of tapping operations, desktop objects that are on each desktop screen on a multi-screen desktop. Desktop thumbnails of desktop screens in a desktop screen set are collectively displayed on a desktop home screen, so that desktop objects on each desktop screen on a multi-screen desktop can be sorted and displayed by performing a tapping operation on the desktop home screen.
