Folder set up to keep files in the same location

I have "My Documents" folder with several sub folders and several files
without folders. When I open this folder I would like the folders to be at
the top then some misc files I have, then my excel files then my word files.
I can move things around to get them the way I want them and all is
fine....until I open one and save it. When I close the file it is no longer
in the location I wanted it but it is at the end (bottom) of all other files.
This is rather annoying because I have them in the order I want them and
they keep getting re arranged. Any suggestions???

Hit F5 to refresh the window and it should resort as you originally had it
displayed.
