Custom Sections
The WASM Analyzer Custom Sections page is accessible as a navigation item in the WASM Analyzer navigation menu. The navigation item is only clickable if the .wasm file or package contains one or more Custom Section. The Custom Sections list displays a representation of the available Custom Sections in a given .wasm file, or package. You can read more about custom sections in the Custom sections part of our WebAssembly overview documentation.

In the Custom sections list, you’ll find a list of custom sections.
The Custom sections list has the following columns:

| Name1 | Custom section name in string format |
| Description2 | A description of the purpose of the Custom Section, for known custom sections only |
| Size3 | Size in bytes, displayed as kilobytes/megabytes as appropriate |
The Custom Sections list.
The list can by sorted by clicking on the Name, or Size column headers. One click sorts the list in in descending order on the selected column. Clicking the same column again sorts the list according to ascending order. A third click on the same column clears the current sort order and returns the list to its original unsorted state.
