Some cabinets come with versatile inserts that can be used either way.
Hanging files are normally hung side-to-side rather than front-to-back, as in vertical cabinets.
A lateral file cabinet allows the user to peak inside and see a variety of file labels all at once. They're made to hold hanging file folders, which are arranged from back to front and can usually store letter- or legal-size papers. This type of filing cabinet is almost always a vertical file, and most options have only one or two drawers in order to fit underneath This is the most common way to file letter-size hanging folders in a vertical file and legal-size hanging folders in a lateral file.
