    Explorer Cannot Place Folders Next To Each Other


    I'm not really sure what the root cause is - but Explore is NOT placing folders and other same items exactly next to each other. I have "type" selected so folders group together, documents group together, and so on. But, items aren't grouped together. Instead, I see something like this


    0-9 4

    -------

    A-H 91

    -------

    I-P 32



    So, the folders, documents and so on get separated anyway.

    :)
