    How to set default Sort Order for files


    Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to automatically set by default, the View/Sort Order. What I mean is, I don't want to keep opening up my file browser (Explorer), clicking on Name, then Type to sort them. Is there a way to have this automatically so it by default? I know previous versions of Windows you could do this.

    :)

    How can I set the WP7 picture sort order to "sort by name" ?

    WP7 seems to sort pictures, which have been synced to the device, by the date when the picure was taken.

    In the Zune SW on the PC I can also sort the picurse by file name. That's what I usually want to have.

    How can I tell WP7 to sort the picures in the same way as set in the Zune SW (i.e.
    by file name)?

    How to set default Sort Order for files

    Hi, mine 'sticks' per folder. For example, if I set one to view organised by type, next time I open it, it's organised by type, whilst simultaneously, I might have set one to be organised by size, and next time I open that, it's organised by size.

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    Sometimes mine don't say that way. I have to keep clicking on Name or Type again. This happens on all Windows 10 PC's in the house..All using either Home or Pro 64 Bit

    Windows has a long-standing reputation for inconsistency in such details, and differences for some people.

    Whilst I've not tried it, you could try:
