    file sorting gone weird


    I have a problem sorting through "download" folder. I pressed on sorting to find a particular file but it turned out to be like this, stacks of many file type labels which I don't need came up like this. I clicked sorting button so many time to try and get rid of these labels but to no avail. Nothing seems to change, it didn't even re-sort anything under each label. How could I fix this?Windows 11 on notebook computer

    :)

    sorting options in file explorer are gone

    Not long ago, I was able to select "sort by" and at the bottom of the list was "show more options" or something like that. That gave you numerous other sorting options, but that option is now gone. Where'd it go?

    6303 Classic - Contacts gone weird after software update through OVI

    I have updated my phone's software hardly two days ago and I now notice that my contacts list has gone weird. 1> The list is not sorted out alphabetically. 2>Quick search mostly shows no result or few limited results.

    file sorting gone weird

    files have gone

    I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed halfway through the move and I had to reboot. I then decided that I needed to sort out why the PC crashed and MOVED the directory back again.

    However, in the process, most of the files have disappeared! What I don't understand is why the original files were deleted if they were not copied over.

    As far as I can see, the files have gone for good. Is there any hope? Friend suggest Data Recovery Wizard, can I try that?
