| | Vista Exployer Detailed View Dumb question? Why can't I sort Music or Photos by date. When I select detailed view, I see no dates. All I see is Artist, Album, etc. I tried classic view, but had same results. I'm trying to find latest (or newest) files. |

| | Re: Vista Exployer Detailed View Dumb question? Right-click in the column headers area & select 'More...'. You can select several Date properties from there. -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] "Buz Fuller" <buzfuller@comcast.net> wrote in message news:ed$2N0SeHHA.284@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Why can't I sort Music or Photos by date.

| | Re: Vista Exployer Detailed View Dumb question? And one of the joys of VISTA for me is that the "column headings" appear even if you are displaying List or Icons and you can sort by them without changing to Details and enlarging the Window pane. All sorts of fine tuning you can do if you click on a down arrow alongside a column heading or on Organize. |

| | Re: Vista Exployer Detailed View Dumb question? The trick is to sort instead of group the icons. Use the down arrow at names to sort the names and get rid of useless categories. you can do the same for data. Actually quite powerful but confusing that grouping is the default setting. -- Ansgar "Hugh Wyn Griffith" wrote: > And one of the joys of VISTA for me is that the "column headings" > appear even if you are displaying List or Icons and you can sort by > them without changing to Details and enlarging the Window pane. > > All sorts of fine tuning you can do if you click on a down arrow > alongside a column heading or on Organize. > > |

Not sure what you mean by this but in any case I'm dealing with filenames normally and use full details -- but File Open defaults to opening in List and being able to sort by date without going to Details is a great improvement. |
