What is the correct way to set up hanging files in a filing cabinet?

Install the hanging file bar or suspension rail system first (most commercial cabinets include these). Hang file folders with their tabs facing up at consistent positions (all tabs in the same row position or staggered alternating). Place labeled manila folders inside each hanging file. Avoid overfilling — a drawer should close without forcing. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries a full range of filing accessories — call 1-800-460-0858.
