Listing Display

Is there anything other than short code for the listing display. Is there html markups we can pull from so we can build in a html editor and then put the code in for the display output for that page.

Also the modules pull all the files that are uploaded in no order and all at once. Can we display the files in a widget instead of all random. there is not a widget for each file output so the display looks very unfinished and random.

Please give me some direction as I would like to clean it up. have not issue doing the work just need some direction.

Also do we have some direction for the widget display as well as when I edit it seems to not want to come back.
