Windows 10: How do I keep a file sorted by Date Descending

I can manage to keep my files sorted by date ascending but I can't seem to figure out how to manage to put it on constant descending.

:)

 

Sort files by date with folders on top

Until recently, when I used File Explorer, the folder list was always at the top! If I want to sort everything inside a folder by name ascending, it put the folders on top (by name ascending) then files next (by name ascending). If I want to sort everything
inside a folder by name descending, it put the folders on top (by name descending) then files next (by name descending). That way you can get to the folders easily. Perfect!

Now, however, it works normal when I sort by name ascending, but when I sort by name descending, it turns the list completely upside down! The files are on top by name descending, then the folders are on BOTTOM by name descending! I want the folders to always
come on top like they used to do.

What changed? How can I fix it?

Thanks!

Sort Ascending Descending

Hi Dave

Are you in Details or List View when the Sort button is not enabled?

The Sort Ascending and Ascending is best done by just clicking the appropriate column header, arrow up is ascending, arrow down is descending

 

Sorting folders and files in file explorer Windows 10

How can I sort files in the "directory" so that folders are listed alphabetically and below the files are in descending date order. "date modified. The fix for Windows 7 is not working for me. It can sort by descending date modified which puts the folders
at the bottom of the list or by name which puts folders at top and files below all alphabetically.
