Windows 10: Is there any way to sort files any way I want in a folder?

Any way to do this or am I limited to only date, size, and type?

How to desegregate Folders/Files in File Explorer Sort By Functions?

Hi,

Sorting the layout of each folder is really dependent on the user's preference, that is why Windows has a variety of ways of sorting files and folders.

To sort files and folders alphanumerically together, we can try grouping it by name.

To do this, follow the steps below:

• On the folder that you want to sort, click View.
• Look for Group by and left-click on it.
• Select Name.

Let us know if you need anything else.

 

Any way to freely sort files in a folder without auto sorting in windows 10?

With older versions of windows I could freely drag a file within a folder and place it where I wanted regardless of auto sorting type, with windows 10 I can't find a way to freely put a file in between two other files without it auto sorting back or putting
it into another folder. Wondering if anyone has a fix or a workaround thank you.

 

Sorting with File Explorer.

I tried the method that was complicated (3rd option) but fell over in second step as I could not find any "apply to folder button"'.

However, the simple put *.* in search bar, then sort results windows by date does the trick. It is slightly cumbersome as I have to do that each time I am selecting files (to upload to sharepoint) but a lot less hassle than I was having to scroll up and down between sorted file block and sorted folder block.

Many thanks.
