Vista - Sorting files by date modified

01-29-2008

I am having an annoying problem with Vista. I have my folders set to view
details. When I click on "date modified" to sort by descending date, the
files are not sorted from most recent to least recent, but appear to be
sorted on the month only. So, files from Dec 2007 come before files from
Nov, Oct, Sept , etc. and the files from Jan 2008 then show up from most
recent to least recent below all these. It's kind of ridiculous. Why is it
sorting on month only? Is there a different way to do this?

Thanks

It probably shouldn't happen but is your date order MM-DD or is it DD-MM?
Just a consideration.
