folders

I can't figure out how to sort folders in Vista. They appear in the order in
which they were added instead of alphabetically. There must be a simple way
to deal with this.

Re: folders

Hello,

Clicking on the "Name" heading will sort the folder alphabetically. Clicking
the name heading again will reverse the sort. This setting will be
remembered only for that specific folder.

If you want to make all folders that display those kinds of files look the
same, click organize, folder and search options, the view tab, and then
"apply to folders".

Hi JHC,

Take a look at the "How to change the column sort order" section towards the bottom of this tutorial. It will show you how to do it. For when they were added, you should use the "Date Modified" column to sort it.
